Description

IOS grew core revenue, representing its double-digit core revenue growth. There was good growth in every region, with low double-digit growth in North America, high 20s growth in China, and mid-teens growth in Western Europe. In every region, POS remains strong. In the quarter, strong end-market demand drove revenue growth of double-digit EMEA SaaS. Revenue grew in EHS by high teems with strong contributions from both Intelex and Industrial Scientific. Despite a sizable headwind from the end-of-life products, Accruent SaaS revenue grew by mid-single digits. Precision Technologies delivered a strong quarter of double-digit revenue growth in all businesses. For the quarter, some highlights include high operating profit and quarterly revenues at Tektronix, which benefit robust backlog driven by a new entry in the mainstream as sold scopes, share gains, and new product launches. There was a slowdown in orders. Sensing Technologies had mid-teens growth. Revenues increased in the quarter in Advanced Healthcare Solutions, driven by a wide improvement across every healthcare operating company. AHS segment margins were down in the quarter, primarily driven by high inflation. We give Fortive Corporation a ‘Hold’ rating with a revised target price.
