Additionally, Fortive anticipates fourth-quarter sales of approximately $1.6 billion, a slight increase from the previous year’s $1.53 billion.
Revised 2023 Profit and Earnings Targets
Looking ahead to 2023, Fortive has revised its profit and earnings targets. The company is now aiming for a profit range of $2.30 to $2.33 per share, down from the previous range of $2.38 to $2.44 per share. In terms of adjusted earnings, Fortive projects a range of $3.37 to $3.40 per share, which has been narrowed from the previous range of $3.36 to $3.42 per share.
Revenue Expectations
Fortive’s revenue expectations for 2023 have also been adjusted. The company now anticipates revenue between $6.0 billion and $6.1 billion, compared to the previous estimate of approximately $6.1 billion for the year.
