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.

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 $59.45 is worth $297,250. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $5,945 to $11,890) 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.
