Scotiabank Initiates Coverage On Danaher with Sector Perform Rating, Announces Price Target of $265

Few hedge fund managers command the attention of Wall Street quite like Dan S. Loeb. As the founder of Third Point, a $7 billion hedge fund, Loeb has made his mark with bold activist strategies that challenge the status quo and drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/hedge-funds">transformation in global companies.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Portfolio Overview</h3>
As of Q3 2024, Third Point's portfolio is valued at $7.37 billion, comprising 41 investments. The fund gained 5.3% during the quarter, with top holdings including Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) at 13%, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) at 9.3%, and Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) at 7.3%. Smaller positions include Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>), each at 5.1%.
Best Performers: These five stocks have surged over 20% in the last 6 months.
<ol>
<li>Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) escalated around 43%.</li>
<li>Amazon surged about 18%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) rose roughly 17%</li>
<li>Corpay, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPAY#NYSE">CPAY</a>) rocketed about 29%</li>
<li>Cinemark Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) increased approximately 60%</li>
</ol>
These gains highlight Loeb's ability to capitalize on growth opportunities across the entertainment, tech, and financial sectors.

Investment Strategy:
<ul>
<li>Loeb is a prominent activist investor who acquires significant stakes in underperforming companies to advocate for improvements in management, operations, or governance, with the goal of enhancing shareholder value. A key example is his 2011 investment in Yahoo, where a 5% stake and strategic push led to transformations and over $1 billion in gains, <a href="https://hedgefundalpha.com/dan-loeb-portfolio/">according </a>to Hedge Fund Alpha.</li>
<li>Throughout his career, Loeb has focused more on creating spin-offs than investing in existing ones. He recently applied his activist strategy with Sony and Shell to pursue spin-offs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/28/shell-vs-activist-dan-loeb-is-bigger-for-big-oil-than-exxon-board-war.html">according </a>to CNBC, but was unsuccessful in these efforts.</li>
<li>Beyond equities, Loeb explores opportunities in credit markets, including distressed debt and corporate bonds, aiming to generate high-risk-adjusted returns by exploiting inefficiencies in those areas. In 2012, Loeb invested in Greek sovereign bonds during the financial crisis, assessing the risk-reward ratio and achieving strong returns, adding to an already successful year, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/10/03/third-points-loeb-bets-big-and-wins-on-greek-debt.html">reported</a>.</li>
</ul>
Historical Performance: Since launching in 1995, the fund has averaged annual returns of 16%, attracting new investors with consistent positive performance, according to Hedge Fund Alpha.
Loeb's major successes came during the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, with his fund posting a 45% return in 2009 despite a market downturn.
Third Point&#8217;s assets under management reportedly peaked at nearly $18 billion in 2022 before declining to approximately $7 billion, attributed to underperformance during a challenging market period in 2022. By the end of 2023, the fund achieved modest positive returns, indicating some stabilization.

Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>): The social media and messaging company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week, which is likely related to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42369266/meta-reddit-stocks-climb-record-highs-as-tiktoks-battle-against-us-ban-continues-after-court-ruling">continued fight to ban</a> TikTok in the U.S. 
Snap and TikTok social media rivals such as Facebook, Instagram and Reddit could benefit if the app is banned. TikTok lost a fight with the U.S. appeals court recently with parent company ByteDance facing a deadline of Jan. 19, 2025, to sell the U.S. arm to a non-Chinese owner or face app stores removing the platform in America. 
While this could be good news for Snap, the ban is far from over with ByteDance continuing to fight and also concerns that President-elect Donald Trump could halt the ban when he takes over the White House. Snap and other social media platforms are also being targeted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237670/meta-tiktok-snapchat-could-face-32m-fines-as-australia-enforces-social-media-ban-for-under-16s-while-exempting-youtube">in several countries </a>and states over age restrictions on usage of the platforms, which could push the stock down further.
Snap stock was down on the week, as shown on the Benzinga Pro chart below. The stock is down 30% year-to-date in 2024.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

BofA Securities reports that the Life Sciences Tools sector struggled in fiscal year 2024.
Spending by pharmaceutical and biotech companies dropped after pandemic-related overspending, and demand in China stayed weak. This led some Life Sciences companies to lower their already-conservative fiscal year revenue forecasts as the year progressed.
For most of fiscal year 2024, Life Sciences company valuations remained higher than pre-COVID levels but declined after the U.S. elections.
Looking ahead to fiscal year 2025, initial forecasts and management comments suggest a mixed outlook.
The first half of the year is expected to mirror the challenges of late fiscal year 2024, while the second half could see improvement due to easier year-over-year comparisons, potential economic stimulus in China, and a broader market recovery.
After being cautious for most of the past year, the analyst sees some positive signs. The bioprocess market, important for certain Core Tools vendors, has been improving steadily and is expected to stabilize in 2025.
Although China&#8217;s stimulus has taken longer than expected, it is starting to lead to some new orders.
Valuations are still higher than the historical average, but they aren&#8217;t as high as in previous years, creating some good opportunities for stock picking.
BofA upgraded Danaher Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) to Buy from Neutral, maintaining the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DHR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $290</a>.
In 2024, Danaher struggled with challenges like reduced bioprocessing inventory, a slowdown in China, and lower spending from biotech and pharma customers.

Analysts believe that bioprocessing, an important market, is nearly back to normal and should see steady demand in 2025.
Although China is still facing difficulties, BofA expects a strong increase in orders in the fourth quarter due to stimulus efforts, with positive effects likely starting in 2025.
BofA has also upgraded Revvity (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RVTY#NYSE">RVTY</a>) from Neutral to Buy with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RVTY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $138</a>.
The company is at a turning point after making significant business changes in recent years. While management did not provide guidance for fiscal year 2025 at the recent Analyst Day, the long-term strategy remains largely the same.
Even though the market is stabilizing in FY25, Revvity&#8217;s growth is expected to be below its 6-8% target range. As short-term industry challenges continue to lessen, BofA expects Revvity to perform well, bolstered by recent acquisitions.
Price Action: At last check Friday, DHR stock was down 0.15% at $234.14, and RVTY stock was down 1.56% at $114.21.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Danaher has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Danaher's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Danaher's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.39%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Danaher P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Danaher has a better P/E ratio of 45.79 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 43.15 of the Life Sciences Tools &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that Danaher Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
