The stock is currently undervalued on a future P/E perspective. DHR produces very consistent earnings and usually trades at a conservative 21x PE ratio. It is trading at 23.21x current earnings ratio on the expectation of a large Q1 2010 number.Fair… More

Overall a good stock to own, but is now slightly overvalued. Will perform OK over the next few years, but will be under the market returns.

I know I'm going against the grain on this but this is such a weak dividend yield. It's embarrassing.

Also, the P/E has had a run up that I feel insecure about given the industry average. I'm going to speculatively give this the big "thumbs down." This is a busy sector with a lot of competition; if you can't compete on fundamentals, you are only competing on a story. I don't bet on storytellers.

294. Danaher Corp. (NYSE: DHR) is one of the companies in the S&P500 that I think I'd enjoy working for. They are excellent at selecting companies to acquire at a specific price. This specific price is short of the value that Danaher believes they can add by effectively kicking operational tail. I'm glad they raised their 'pity the fool' dividend to 3 cents but come on. What is the point of a pity dividend? Target: $50-$60. This is a company that is a solid own for the next decade at these prices. If you're lucky enough to get a dip, buy it and let your portfolio rip.
