About: In 1984, Danaher's founders transformed a real estate organization into an industrial-focused manufacturing company. Then, through a series of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, Danaher now focuses primarily on manufacturing scientific instruments and consumables in the life science and diagnostic industries after the late 2023 divestiture of its environmental and applied solutions group, Veralto.

Best Way To Invest $100,000: Build An 8-Stock Portfolio For Growth And Value
Concentrate on a select few high-conviction stocks across different sectors to avoid "diworsification" and maximize returns, inspired by Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett. Utilize Joel Greenblatt's "Magic Formula" and James O'Shaughnessy's methodologies to screen stocks based on earnings yield and return on total capital. Exclude overly regulated sectors like Utilities, Financials, and REITs to focus on sectors with higher growth potential and less regulatory constraints.
