No Major Surprises in Fortive’s Fourth Quarter; Maintaining FVE
Narrow-moat-rated Fortive ended 2022 with a solid fourth quarter, as its adjusted EPS of $0.88 beat our estimate by $0.03. We’ve made some puts and takes in our model, but our $85 fair value estimate remains unchanged as nothing in Fortive’s fourth-quarter earnings release fundamentally alters our long-term thesis. We see the name as modestly undervalued, with shares currently trading in 4-star territory.
