Danaher: The next Berkshire?

-55.41% MID
Sr. Analyst

Danaher is a multi-national manufacturer of a diverse portfolio of products which include: Craftsman tools; Medical equipment; Industrial Testing equipment; Water Treatment equipment; Defense Equipment; and soooo much more.  You must really view their website to see the complete number of business involved in this fantastic company. 

Danaher is frequently a favorite of analysts looking for diversified manufactures and has around 70% institutional ownership.  Growth rates have consistently been over 10% and at a P/E of 18 sells for only a slight premium over less productive competitors.  Danaher should be in a perfect position for the upcoming worldwide water treatment upgrades that have been projected for several years.

Disclosure: Both I and my clients own this security.
