I think this is why but I don't quite understand it.
"Danaher (DHR) is now guiding full-year core revenue to increase 3% to 4%, lowering the top end of the range from 6%. For the ongoing quarter, the company projects core sales growth of 2% to 3% year over year, indicating a possible sequential slowdown."
I had contact working in Danaher, reached out to him and it seems business is normal. So from that micro pov, take it for whatever it means.
