The main question: the share price moved +17.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −59.1%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Dover share price today? Dover Corporation's share price was $213.57 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 1 week. That is 1.8% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $180 and $233, and at that close it sat 63% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +204% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Dover pay? Dover Corporation paid $2.08 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.53 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $213.57 that is a yield of 0.97%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Dover on? Dover is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies.

## Is Dover profitable? Dover Corporation earned $333 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +10.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $1.1 B. Over 4 years profit has grown −0.7% a year on average. That is 14.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $302 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $1.1 B (−59.4% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +7.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −13.7% and revenue +8.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Dover make, and is it growing? Dover Corporation reported $2.2 B of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +7.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 0.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $8.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $8.6 B. The quarterly figures for FY22 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums. FY25 revenue was $8.1 B, +4.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +8.3% on average, against 0.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +8.2%, against +5.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −48.1%, against −13.5% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Dover keep? Dover Corporation's operating margin was 19.7% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 16.5% and 17.9%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 16.5% and 17.9%, and FY25's 17.9% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +1.0 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.5 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Dover's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 71% of Dover Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so most of the profit is real cash. In FY25 it brought in $1.3 B of operating cash against $1.1 B of profit. After $220 M of spending on assets, $1.1 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Dover's cash go? Dover Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $571 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.4% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $571 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Dover's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Dover Corporation's P/E is 24.9×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 78% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 17.2×, over 2.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −59.1% while the price moved +17.7%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Dover business getting better or worse? Dover Corporation's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −13.0% at its low to +10.4%, rising from a low 3 quarters ago (from single-quarter figures), with ROCE steady at 14.0%. This is based on 10 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Dover earn on its capital? Dover Corporation earned a ROE of 15% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 4.2 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 13.5% net margin and 0.60× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 13.5% net margin × 0.60× asset turnover × 1.81× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 14.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 13.7% − 9.5% = +4.2 percentage points. The 9.5% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does Dover have too much debt? Dover Corporation has total debt of $3.3 B against shareholder equity of $7.6 B as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.43× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.79 in FY21 to 0.48 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Dover shareholding pattern? 3.2% of Dover Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.7 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Dover from balance-sheet trouble? For Dover Corporation, the Z-score is 5.48. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 5.48 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Dover rank in its industry? 60.2 out of 100, rank 7 of 30 in Specialty Industrial Machinery, with 85% of the evidence available. Dover Corporation scores 60.2 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Specialty Industrial Machinery, ranking 7. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 17.1 + 14.3 + 16 + 12.8 = 60.2. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Dover compared with? Dover ranks 7 of 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 60.2 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
