Danaher's stock drop presents a buying opportunity. We're also increasing our price target.

Danaher shares declined Tuesday despite the life sciences company returning its key bioprocessing business to growth in the third quarter. Danaher's revenue for the three months ended Sept. 27 advanced 3% year over year on a reported basis, to $5.8 billion, outpacing the LSEG consensus estimate of $5.59 billion. On an organic basis, sales were up 0.5%. Adjusted earnings per share decreased 0.6% annually to $1.71 but still topped the $1.57 per share that had been expected.

Commentary Biotechnology segment sales in Q3 dipped 0.7% on a core basis to $1.65 billion but exceeded estimates. Bioprocessing realized low-single-digit growth in the quarter. Bioprocessing has been under pressure in recent quarters due to a lack of funding for smaller businesses after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in early 2023 and destocking from larger customers coming out of the Covid pandemic.
