1025 ET - Danaher falls after guiding for core revenue, which strips out foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines, to rise just 3% in 2025. The results are disappointing, given that demand was expected to show some improvement in the current quarter, Edward Jones analyst John Boylan says in a research note. Still, he says he can't fault the company's conservatism after a tough run of quarters. Demand should eventually return, as drug companies often need Danaher's products to discover and manufacture drugs, so long-term investors will be rewarded for their patience, Boylan says. Shares drop 7.2% to $230.01. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
