FTV Stock and Options Trade Setup — Fortive Corporation
NYSE · Intelligent Industrial Software & Precision Instruments · Moderate-high options liquidity · Large cap · ~$26B
Fortive is a compounding machine built on the Danaher heritage — a continuous improvement operating framework that consistently expands margins and improves free cash flow conversion across acquired businesses. The Intelligent Operating Solutions segment (Accruent, ServiceChannel, Gordian) provides SaaS-based facility and field service management software with high switching costs and mid-teens ARR growth. Precision Technologies serves the semiconductor, defense, and industrial test markets with high-margin instruments that are deeply embedded in customer calibration workflows. The company has been selectively pruning cyclical businesses — the Vontier spin-off in 2020 completed the portfolio reshaping — and the current business mix generates ~$2.5B in annual free cash flow. Fortive trades at a premium for good reason: its capital allocation track record rivals Danaher's during the early compounding phase.

FTV Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is FTV a good options trade today?+
Fortive Corporation (FTV) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 73/100, ranking it top 25%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is FTV's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
FTV's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 66%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past FTV trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for FTV?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the FTV setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh FTV's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If FTV drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for FTV?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to FTV: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is FTV outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. FTV currently scores 73.
How does FTV compare to other Intelligent Industrial Software & Precision Instruments setups?+
FTV's sector rank and percentile against other Intelligent Industrial Software & Precision Instruments tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Intelligent Industrial Software & Precision Instruments Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
