Danaher spun the company out in 2016 with a portfolio of industrial instruments and software, and it has since divested the more cyclical hardware to concentrate on connected workflow products. Management uses the Danaher Business System playbook it inherited, which pairs continuous improvement with disciplined acquisition. Field service management, facility safety compliance, and calibration instruments are the recurring-revenue anchors. The portfolio is deliberately assembled to reduce exposure to any single industrial cycle. Headquarters are in Everett, Washington.

Equity comp at Fortive

  • Fortive's Severance and Change-in-Control Plan for Officers is double-trigger: equity awards do not accelerate on a change in control alone. Acceleration requires a qualifying termination (without cause, or resignation for good reason) within 24 months following a qualified change in control, at which point unvested equity vests in full and performance-based awards are deemed achieved at target. Separately, many of Fortive's executive RSU grants vest over longer schedules than the market-standard 4-year/25%-annually pattern, often with vesting concentrated in years 3 through 5 after grant. Non-employee director RSUs, by contrast, vest in full upon a change in control regardless of termination (single-trigger), but that policy applies to the board, not employees.
  • RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.
  • Vesting schedule: Executive/officer RSU grants at Fortive commonly use longer, delayed-vesting schedules rather than the typical 4-year/25%-per-year pattern, e.g. one-third vesting on each of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th anniversaries of grant, 20% vesting on each of the first five anniversaries, or 50% vesting on each of the 3rd and 4th anniversaries, depending on the award..

A protective put caps your downside on the FTV 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 FTV option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Example: a 5,000-share FTV position at $57.47 is worth $287,350. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $5,747 to $11,494) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off FTV's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Fortive equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge FTV 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 FTV'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 FTV option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Fortive grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Fortive typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Fortive RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
Yes. Fortive restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
