Fortive Q2 2026: adjusted EPS $0.74 beats, FY guidance raised

Fortive beat on adjusted profit and lifted full-year guidance, so the quarter reads as a clean win: revenue of $1.10 billion rose 7.9% and adjusted EPS of $0.74 came in above the $0.7154 consensus. The view is Bullish because core growth accelerated to 6.7% and adjusted EBITDA rose 12.0%. Read the rest with one caveat: per-share gains lean on a shrinking share count and a bigger debt balance.
