Fortive Corporation is currently running 21.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against FTV's own 10 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 45th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 22.5%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

FTV is trading -13.5% below its running peak. Across 9 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -25.3%, and the deepest was -47.1% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits -0.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 37th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year FTV closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 10 years of records, FTV finished the month higher 5 of 10 times, with a median return of -0.1% and an average of -3.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +7.7% on average, its weakest October at -3.3%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: FTV has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 102 of 2,595 sessions (3.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +29.1% and -15.6%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, FTV moved an average of 1.0% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -1.3% and a largest of -1.8%.

All figures computed from 2,596 daily closes between 2016-06-13 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against FTV's own 10-year history, not a peer group or index.
