The next reporting date

Range leaves room around target

Fortive's primary-market 52-week range was USD 48.10 to USD 64.56 as of October 14, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The USD 57.84 price stood 10.42 percent below the high and 20.25 percent above the low. The euro quote's 0.43 percent premium to the latest Xetra close therefore looks modest beside the broader annual range.
