Director Linda Filler sold 3,928 shares of DHR at $279.50 on 2024-08-01; prior two DHR sells both well-timed at 90-day mark.
Linda Filler sold 3,928 shares (3.9K shares) of Danaher, reducing her holdings by 8.7% to 41,149 shares. This sale occurred at $279.50, near the company's 52-week high of $280.76, and the stock has subsequently declined 1.4% from that peak. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed sell rate across two prior dispositions at other companies, with an average 90-day return of -25.6%. At Danaher specifically, she has executed 2 prior sells on 2023-07-28, both of which delivered -25.6% over 90 days—a pattern consistent with selling ahead of weakness. However, the current filing must be evaluated independently: the sale price of $279.50 is now 1.1% above the current price of $276.75, and the stock is up 15.3% over the past 30 days and 11.4% over 90 days, suggesting this particular sale has not yet demonstrated the downside timing evident in her prior activity at this company. The company's fundamentals show a marked contraction with annual revenue growth of -24.1% and a P/E of 47.55, which may warrant attention relative to the scale of this director's position reduction.
