L1 Capital International made the following comment about Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“During the quarter we made an initial investment in one new business, added to our investment in Booking Holdings (Booking), and reduced our investment in IQVIA, using the proceeds to increase our investment in Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR).

IQVIA and Danaher have overlapping drivers, with both companies being ‘picks and shovels’ businesses servicing the life sciences industry. We remain comfortable with both businesses and determined it was more appropriate to make the position size in each company more comparable. We would consider making our investment in both companies larger if valuations become even more compelling.”
