Verdict: better than feared — sales +5.5% to $6.27B with core growth improving to +3.0% (+4.5% excluding respiratory testing) and Life Sciences posting its strongest quarter in years; the +57% jump in net earnings is mostly the base effect of last year's $432M trade-name impairment, while adjusted EPS grew a more honest 8% to $1.94.
Full-year 2026: core revenue growth 3.0–4.0%, adjusted diluted EPS raised to $8.45–8.60 (was $8.35–8.55) after the Masimo acquisition closed earlier than expected; Q3 core growth guided at 2.0–3.0%. Operating cash flow $1.5B, free cash flow $1.3B in the quarter.
