Danaher Corporation (DHR) shares surged 5.16% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its impressive first-quarter 2025 financial results. The life sciences and diagnostics innovator reported earnings that surpassed Wall Street expectations, demonstrating resilience in a dynamic macroeconomic environment.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.88, significantly beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.64. Revenue for the quarter came in at $5.74 billion, also topping Street forecasts of $5.59 billion. Danaher's President and CEO, Rainer Blair, attributed the strong performance to "continued momentum in bioprocessing and better-than-expected respiratory demand in our molecular diagnostics business."
Looking ahead, Danaher provided an optimistic outlook for the remainder of 2025. The company anticipates second-quarter non-GAAP core revenue to grow in the low-single digits year-over-year. For the full year 2025, Danaher reaffirmed its expectation of approximately 3% core revenue growth and initiated adjusted earnings per share guidance in the range of $7.60 to $7.75, in line with analysts' expectations. This positive guidance, coupled with the strong Q1 results, has bolstered investor confidence in the company's ability to navigate ongoing market challenges.
