Dover (DOV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Dover has demonstrated resilience in its operations, reporting organic sales growth of 0.5% and 0.9% year-over-year across different quarters, highlighting the company's ability to adapt in a challenging market environment. The notable growth in bookings, which increased by 8% in 3Q25 and 7% in 2Q25, indicates strong demand in key areas such as biopharma and clean energy technologies, suggesting robust future revenue potential. Furthermore, the balanced revenue distribution, with over half generated domestically, positions Dover favorably to leverage regional economic trends and opportunities.
Bears say
Dover's recent financial reports indicate a concerning trend, with total backlog-to-bill (BTB) ratios reported at 0.98x, slightly below expectations, suggesting weaker demand relative to order fulfillment. Furthermore, the company's trading at 17.1x its 2026 EPS estimate represents a significant 31% discount to peers, indicating potential valuation concerns and a lack of investor confidence. Additionally, organic sales across four segments have shown underperformance, specifically highlighted by a 5.1% decline in the Clean Energy sector, which could further impact overall revenue growth and profitability prospects.
