Description: FTV Fortive October 30, 2025
Fortive Corp (NYSE:FTV) designs, develops, manufactures, and markets a broad portfolio of products, software, and services across the United States, China, and other international markets. The company is organized into two operating segments: Intelligent Operating Solutions (IOS) and Advanced Healthcare Solutions (AHS). IOS delivers instrumentation, test-and-measurement equipment, lifecycle-management software, and connected-worker safety tools for industries ranging from manufacturing to utilities, under brands such as FLUKE, GORDIAN, and PRUFTECHNIK. AHS focuses on critical workflow solutions for the healthcare sector, including instrument sterilization, cell-therapy equipment, radiation detection, and clinical productivity software, marketed under names like STERRAD, LANDAUER, and FLUKE BIOMEDICAL.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year (FY 2023) show total revenue of approximately $5.5 billion, with the AHS segment growing ~8 % YoY, outpacing the IOS segment’s modest 3 % increase. Operating margin hovered around 12 %, reflecting continued cost-discipline despite inflationary pressure on component costs. The industrial automation trend-driven by rising demand for digital twins and predictive maintenance-remains a primary growth catalyst for IOS, while an aging global population and expanding outpatient care settings underpin AHS demand for sterilization and workflow solutions.
Given Fortive’s diversified end-markets and steady cash-flow generation, analysts often monitor its free-cash-flow conversion (historically > 80 %) and capital-allocation strategy, especially the balance between dividend payouts and share-repurchase programs.
