Market Reaction
Following the earnings release, Danaher shares plunged 11.74% to $177.49 (about ₩262,863). International media attributed the decline — despite net income and adjusted EPS beating expectations — to concerns over next quarter's revenue outlook and a slowdown in the life sciences equipment (bioprocessing) segment. Danaher said bioprocessing revenue was affected by delays in customer purchasing timelines, though it noted that bioprocessing orders grew in the mid-teens percentage range.
