RT @DimitryNakhla: Danaher $DHR stock is down -30% from its highs, falling from $294 to $206 ๐Ÿ“‰

Is $DHR a good investment today?

In the first photo youโ€™ll notice $DHR multiple expanded nearly 40% in the last 10 years, contributing to the companyโ€™s ~146% price return (yes, some businesses were spun off, & the value of those count towards the total return as well)

From 2019-2022, $DHR multiple expanded rapidly, reaching over 30x and this was largely due to forecasted aggressive earnings growth

Moving forward though, EPS growth has been lackluster (2022-2025E) & you can see why $DHR multiple contracted from 35x to 27x today

Yes, $DHR is a great business & the $DHR corporate culture is excellent. But all of that doesnโ€™t warrant a purchase of the company IF the multiple, relative to its growth rate (among several other things) isnโ€™t attractive enough to provide a margin of safety and attractive returns moving forward

Today at $206๐Ÿ’ต, $DHR trades for 27x NTM with a PEG of 2.22x so I believe $DHR is fairly valued here

At 27x NTM, investor returns will depend heavily on EPS growth (which is fine), yet you likely wonโ€™t get the same kind of multiple expansion you did in the last decade (unless EPS growth estimates are revised substantially higher)

This is why I made the argument, less than months ago, that I prefer $TMO to $DHR because $TMO traded -24% cheaper than $DHR even though $TMO is expected to grow earnings at a higher rate than $DHR over the next 3 years

Since then? $TMO +10% YTD ๐Ÿ“ˆ while $DHR -10% YTD ๐Ÿ“‰

Iโ€™d consider $DHR a good purchase closer to $184๐Ÿ’ต or at ~24x NTM EPS & an excellent purchase closer to $168๐Ÿ’ต or at ~21x NTM EPS (although I wouldnโ€™t count on it reaching that level)

At $184๐Ÿ’ต, Iโ€™ll have some margin of safety with the potential for slight margin expansion & at $168๐Ÿ’ต itโ€™s a steal

Iโ€™d likely look to add in tranches, building 70% of the position near $184๐Ÿ’ต and 30% if Iโ€™m lucky enough to see $168๐Ÿ’ต
