　　丹納赫總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官Lawrence Culp曾在今年7月份透露，丹納赫可用于2014年收購(gòu)的資金大概有80億美元，目前我們正在尋找能夠增加公司價(jià)值、給股東帶來(lái)回報(bào)的合適目標(biāo)。

　　雖然當(dāng)時(shí)他沒(méi)有透露公司的并購(gòu)戰(zhàn)略，但卻表示：“一旦目標(biāo)公司出現(xiàn)，我們很有信心公司有能力去進(jìn)行收購(gòu)，并對(duì)這個(gè)能力基本保持樂(lè)觀。目前我們正在尋找能夠增加公司價(jià)值、給股東帶來(lái)回報(bào)的合適目標(biāo)。

　　瑞信估計(jì)，Spectris可以提升Danaher的邊際利潤(rùn)率。

　　FBR&Co.and Longbow則認(rèn)為，Pall是更為合適的收購(gòu)對(duì)象。

　　麥格里預(yù)期，Danaher今年收入增幅只有4%，低于2009年平均12%升幅。因此，投資者要有預(yù)備，該公司會(huì)進(jìn)行收購(gòu)。

　　Danaher沒(méi)回應(yīng)上述消息。

 

Danaher $8 Billion Seen Fueling Bids for Pall, Spectris

Danaher Corp. (DHR), a maker of everything from dental equipment to water filters, may spend some of its more than $8 billion in takeover firepower on Pall Corp. or Spectris Plc (SXS) to help boost sales amid the slowest growth in four years.

Chief Executive Officer Larry Culp said in July that the $47 billion company is looking for deals that can increase returns for shareholders. Spectris, a $4.3 billion maker of testing gear, could lure Danaher with its high margins and the opportunity for cost cutting, said Credit Suisse Group AG. Pall, an $8.1 billion supplier of water-filtration technology, could be an attractive target, FBR & Co. and Longbow Research said.

Danaher hasn’t spent more than $1 billion on a purchase since 2011, and now has a record amount of cash for takeovers. Macquarie Group Ltd. said investors are eager for more dealmaking, with the Washington-based company’s sales poised to increase by less than 4 percent this year, down from growth of more than 12 percent every year since 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

“Larry has made it pretty clear that he has that firepower,” Ajay Kejriwal, a New York-based analyst at FBR, said in a phone interview. “Given their track record, investors know that they will do something. It’s just a matter of time.”

A representative for Danaher said the company declined to comment.
