  • Danaher Shares Show Momentum but Valuation Remains Premium
    January 21, 2026, 8:09 AM EST. Danaher (DHR) shares gained 7.44% over three months but dropped 3.4% in one-year total returns. Trading around $234.33, the stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 47.3x, significantly above its fair value P/E of 30.9x and peer average of 32.6x.

Discounted cash flow analysis also indicates shares are expensive relative to future cash flows. Investors face a high valuation hurdle amid mixed momentum and tempered longer-term returns.
