Danaher – Shares of Danaher rose more than 4% after the medical, industrial and commercial products maker issued upbeat guidance for its fourth-quarter non-GAAP core revenue. The company now expects growth in the high single digits on a year-over-year basis. It previously forecast flat or low-single-digit percentage declines.
