The 16 Wall Street analysts covering Fortive Corp. have a median 12-month price target of $63, with estimates ranging from $51 to $72. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 16 analysts covering Fortive Corp., 4 rate it a Buy, 10 a Hold and 2 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks Fortive Corp. 82 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 22 Oct 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 22 Oct 2026, Fortive Corp. ranks 82 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Issuance (100 of 100).

What the data says: the median 12-month target from 16 analysts implies +4.1% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Fortive Corp. 82 out of 100 as at 22 Oct 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering Fortive Corp. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out.

The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $51 to $72 over the next 12 months.
Fortive Corp. returned +22.9% over the 12 months to 22 Oct 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
