Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-01-29 | Q4 & FY25 earnings | Positive | -1.7% | Reported Q4 growth and confirmed 2026 guidance with higher EPS outlook. |
| 2025-10-23 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | +8.1% | Mixed GAAP results but strong adjusted EPS and raised full-year guidance. |
| 2025-07-24 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | -2.2% | Strong revenue and earnings growth with guidance raised for 2025. |
| 2025-04-24 | Q1 2025 earnings | Positive | +2.0% | Improved adjusted EPS despite flat revenue and strong book-to-bill trends. |
| 2025-01-30 | Q4 & FY24 earnings | Positive | +4.1% | Modest quarterly growth but strong full-year EPS and 2025 guidance issued. |
Recent earnings releases often showed solid fundamental progress but mixed next-day reactions, with three positive and two negative price moves despite generally growing revenue and adjusted EPS.
Over the last five earnings reports (2025-01-30 through 2026-01-29), Dover has steadily grown revenue and adjusted EPS, frequently raising guidance. Q1 and Q2 2025 results highlighted strong adjusted earnings growth and positive book-to-bill, while Q3 and Q4 2025 maintained revenue expansion and higher adjusted EPS despite some GAAP headwinds from prior-year gains. The latest Q4 2025 release reaffirmed 2026 guidance, which this Q1 2026 update now reiterates with higher year-on-year growth metrics.
Historical Comparison
In the past five earnings releases, DOV moved an average of about 2.06% over the following day, with both positive and negative reactions to generally improving fundamentals.
Earnings updates from Q4 2024 through Q4 2025 show consistent revenue and adjusted EPS growth, recurring guidance raises, and a continued focus on capital deployment, setting the backdrop for Q1 2026’s higher revenue and EPS run-rate within the reaffirmed 2026 outlook.
Regulatory & Risk Context
Dover has an effective automatic shelf registration on Form S-3ASR filed on 2026-02-24 for unsecured debt securities under a long-standing indenture, allowing issuance from time to time for general corporate purposes such as debt repayment, working capital, capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions and security repurchases.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +5.5% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with Q1 2026’s double-digit revenue growth and 11% increase in adjusted EPS to $2.28, on top of prior years’ steady gains. Historical earnings moves averaged about 2.06%, so unusually large strength could overshoot fundamentals, especially with an effective debt shelf and recent insider selling recorded in early 2026 potentially capping enthusiasm if sentiment shifts.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:
Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, "We delivered a solid start to the year, with double-digit revenue growth driven by continued strength in our secular-growth-exposed end markets and improving conditions across the portfolio. Performance in the quarter was broad-based, reflecting solid execution by our teams and healthy underlying demand. Bookings rates were excellent in the quarter, with book-to-bill well above one in all five segments, underscoring the momentum across the portfolio and providing improved visibility and confidence to our forecast.
"Our balance sheet remains strong and continues to provide flexibility to deploy capital toward long-term value creation. During the quarter, we continued to return capital to shareholders through opportunistic share repurchases, while also investing behind high-ROI capacity expansions and productivity investments. Our acquisition pipeline remains active as industrial M&A activity begins to pick up. As always, we remain disciplined in our approach to capital deployment, maintaining our focus on strategic fit and accretive financial returns.
"Despite a complicated global macroeconomic environment, we are well positioned to drive value creation for our shareholders given the underlying strength of our order books, the flexibility of our business model, the operational execution of our teams, and our strong liquidity position. We remain committed to delivering double-digit adjusted EPS growth at the midpoint of our guidance range in 2026, consistent with Dover's long-term performance trajectory."

Non-GAAP Measures Definitions
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, management also discloses non-GAAP information that management believes provides useful information to investors. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, total segment earnings, total segment earnings margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of revenue, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for earnings from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities, or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The items described in our definitions herein, unless otherwise noted, relate solely to our continuing operations.
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations represents earnings from continuing operations adjusted for the effect of purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits and gain/loss on dispositions. Purchase accounting expenses are primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets. We exclude after-tax purchase accounting expenses because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions the Company consummates. While we have a history of acquisition activity, our acquisitions do not happen in a predictive cycle. Exclusion of purchase accounting expenses facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time. We believe it is important to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. We exclude the other items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the Company's commercial performance during the period and/or management believes they are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating costs or gains in a given period.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations or adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted for the effect of purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits and gain/loss on disposition.
Total segment earnings is defined as the sum of earnings before purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits, gain/loss on dispositions, corporate expenses/other, interest expense, interest income and provision for income taxes for all segments. Total segment earnings margin is defined as total segment earnings divided by revenue.
Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as segment earnings plus other depreciation and amortization expense, which relates to property, plant, and equipment and intangibles, and excludes amounts related to purchase accounting expenses and restructuring and other costs/benefits. Adjusted segment EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted segment EBITDA divided by revenue.
Management believes the non-GAAP measures above are useful to investors to better understand the Company's ongoing profitability as they better reflect the Company's core operating results, offer more transparency and facilitate easier comparability to prior and future periods and to its peers.
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted earnings from continuing operations equals free cash flow divided by adjusted earnings from continuing operations. Management believes that free cash flow and free cash flow ratios are important measures of liquidity because they provide management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.
Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue and trends between periods. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking organic revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure pursuant to the exception provided in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K because we are not able to provide a meaningful or accurate compilation of reconciling items. This is due to the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the timing and amounts of the items that would be excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or are out of our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information which may be material.
Performance Measures Definitions
Bookings represent total orders received from customers in the current reporting period and exclude de-bookings related to orders received in prior periods, if any. This metric is an important measure of performance and an indicator of revenue order trends.
We use the above operational metric in monitoring the performance of the business. We believe the operational metric is useful to investors and other users of our financial information in assessing the performance of our segments.
