In an earlier interview with Bloomberg's First Word service, ISI Group's Ross Muken said he believes Danaher DHR has spoken publicly on its intention to complete a $3-5 billion acquisition and a “series of smaller” deals totaling $1-2 billion.
Muken sees a deal from Danaher “overdue” and noted shareholders may be expecting the company to announce a deal within the next few weeks.
The analyst suggested a deal would need to be done soon in order to be included in the company's 2014 results.
Shares of Danaher have rallied about 1.5 percent amid the chatter.
