ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Our common stock has been traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol FTV since July 2, 2016. As of February 20, 2026, there were approximately 1,523 holders of record of our common stock. We currently pay a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share on our common stock. Any future declaration and payments of dividends, including any change in the amount of quarterly dividend, on our common stock will be determined by our Board of Directors and will depend on our business conditions, financial results and other factors our Board deems relevant. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On February 17, 2022, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to 20 million shares of our outstanding common stock (the “General Share Repurchase Program”). Under this program, shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plans”). On May 27, 2025, in connection with the Separation, our Board adopted a separate and incremental special purpose share repurchase program (the “Special Purpose Share Repurchase Program”) under which we may purchase up to $550 million in our common stock exclusively from the proceeds we received as a dividend from Ralliant in connection with the Separation (the “Ralliant Dividend”) (as defined herein), together with any other cash received from Ralliant in connection with the Separation (collectively, the “Ralliant Cash Proceeds”). Repurchases of shares of our common stock using the Ralliant Cash Proceeds will only be made through the Special Purpose Share Repurchase Program. On May 27, 2025 and November 5, 2025, our Board increased the number of shares authorized under the General Share Repurchase Program by an additional 15.6 million and 12.1 million shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there were 15.5 million shares remaining authorized under the General Share Repurchase Program and $67.5 million remaining authorized under the Special Share Repurchase Program, respectively. There is no expiration date for the repurchase programs, and the timing and amount of repurchases under the programs are determined by our management based on market conditions, tax regulations and other factors. The repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased 30.4 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $52.79.
