Danaher Beats Earnings Despite Revenue Miss as 3M Reports Mixed Results

Danaher Corporation reported mixed first-quarter results, posting earnings per share of $2.06 which beat estimates, despite missing revenue expectations at $5.95 billion. The company has now clarified that its €3 billion euro-denominated debt offering is primarily intended to fund the acquisition of Masimo Corporation, which is expected to close on April 29, 2026. This bond offering includes a specific €1.0 billion tranche with a 4.000% coupon rate due in 2038. Meanwhile, 3M reported adjusted EPS of $2.14, driven by expanded operating margins of 23.8%. Looking ahead, investor focus is shifting toward the tech sector as Tesla is scheduled to report its quarterly earnings after today's market close.
