Goldman Sachs raised its price target for Danaher from USD 210.00 to USD 250.00 while maintaining a buy rating, according to MarketBeat on September 24, 2026. Danaher stock was at EUR 195.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026, down 0.27 percent versus the prior close.
Goldman target reaches USD 250
The target move gives Danaher a fresh analyst reference point as the company approaches its third-quarter update. MarketBeat reported that Goldman Sachs lifted the target from USD 210.00 to USD 250.00 and kept its buy rating; the source also cited a consensus Moderate Buy view and an average target of USD 230.23 based on 24 analyst ratings.
The spread of analyst views remains important because the target changes followed a mixed operating backdrop. Goldman Sachs placed the highest target cited in the report, while other firms carried targets ranging from USD 200.00 to USD 250.00, according to the same September 24, 2026 MarketBeat report.
Second-quarter revenue rose 5.50 percent
Danaher reported USD 6.26 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 5.50 percent from the same period a year earlier. Earnings per share came to USD 1.94 against a consensus estimate of USD 1.85, a USD 0.09 comparison advantage, according to MarketBeat in its September 29, 2026 report.
The numbers make the upcoming report a test of whether revenue growth can support the higher analyst target. Danaher generated USD 1.53 billion of operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 1.32 billion in the first quarter of 2026, while the operating margin was 18.00 percent in the second quarter.
