MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:
Dover’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, "Dover delivered another strong quarter of double-digit earnings per share growth. Top-line performance was led by our secular-growth-exposed markets — which now account for approximately 25% of the total portfolio — and was complemented by broad-based, constructive trading conditions across the portfolio. Notably, all five segments delivered positive organic growth in the quarter, underscoring the breadth and durability of demand. Margin performance was solid, as continued operational execution on incremental volumes more than offset input cost inflation.
"Bookings outpaced shipments and grew double digits in the quarter, extending the streak of exceptional order rate momentum our businesses have posted over the past several quarters. The strength and breadth of our order book provide improved visibility to our second half outlook.
"Our balance sheet remains a competitive advantage, and we continue to invest capital behind our businesses. During the quarter, we advanced capacity-expansion projects to support growth and productivity investments to drive margins across the portfolio. Industrial M&A markets have improved this year, and our acquisition pipeline has a number of interesting opportunities in attractive end markets.
"As we look to the back half of the year, we are well positioned to drive continued value creation for our shareholders. The underlying strength of our order book, together with the flexibility of our business model and the optionality of our balance sheet, afford us the ability to respond dynamically to market conditions and quickly capitalize on opportunities as they arise. Accordingly, we are raising our full-year adjusted EPS guidance."
FULL YEAR 2026 GUIDANCE:
In 2026, Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS in the range of $8.94 to $9.14 (adjusted EPS of $10.55 to $10.75), based on full year revenue growth of 6% to 8% (organic growth of 4% to 6%).
