About Danaher

Danaher (DHR) is a public Life Sciences company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Washington, DC.

Last close: $221.55 per share (as of 2026-10-01).

Equity grants at Danaher typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).

Steven and Mitchell Rales took control of a small real estate trust in 1983 and renamed it Danaher in 1984, building it into an industrial holding company run on the Danaher Business System, a Toyota-derived operating discipline applied to each acquisition. The portfolio has been repeatedly narrowed: Fortive was spun off in 2016, Envista's dental business in 2019, and Veralto's water-quality and product-identification units in September 2023, while the $21.4 billion purchase of GE's biopharma unit (renamed Cytiva) closed in March 2020. What remains is concentrated in biotechnology, diagnostics, and life sciences tools, with recurring consumables and service contracts supplying most revenue. Headquarters are in Washington, D.C.

Equity comp at Danaher

  • RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the DHR position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current DHR option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Example: a 5,000-share DHR position at $221.55 is worth $1,107,750. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $22,155 to $44,310) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off DHR's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Danaher equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge DHR stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and DHR's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current DHR option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Danaher grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Danaher typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Danaher RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Danaher restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
