If you believe FTV can reaccelerate growth and narrow its leverage gap versus A, then hold or add selectively because the current downside on P/E looks more like a quality and growth discount than a severe valuation dislocation.
FTV’s current price of $61.71 is above the P/E implied price of $55.26, suggesting about 10.5% downside on that basis. The valuation picture is mixed because FTV trades at a lower P/S than A but a higher P/E and slightly higher EV/EBITDA, while the stock also sits within its historical band.
