Dover Corp. (US25985P1030) traded near $202.90 at 3:21:52 p.m. EDT on August 28, 2026, with a market value of $27.318 billion and a 52-week range of $158.97 to $237.54. The company also reported adjusted Q2 FY26 EPS of $2.74 on $2.19 billion of revenue, which topped the $2.72 estimate by $0.02.
July results still set the tone
The latest quarter remains the key reference point for Dover's setup after the July 23 earnings release, which showed revenue of $2.19 billion and profit margin of 14.26%. The same update also showed net income of $312.25 million, while trailing EPS stood at $8.27 on the market-data pages dated August 28, 2026.
That mix leaves valuation and execution in the same frame: Dover's forward P/E is 19.19, and the stock has advanced 3.92% year to date. The comparison matters because the shares are still below the 52-week high of $237.54 even after the second-quarter beat.
Dividend and consensus
Income investors have one more dated marker to track, with a cash dividend of $0.525 announced for the August 31, 2026 ex-date and a forward yield of 1.03%. MarketBeat's consensus view shows a Moderate Buy rating and a $238.29 target, while the same session data put average volume at 955,156 shares and current volume at 483,748 shares.
The target sits above the recent quote, and the spread to the high of the year is still concrete: $202.90 versus $237.54. For industrial investors, that keeps the debate centered on whether Dover can extend margin discipline after a quarter that already beat EPS expectations by $0.02.
Precision workhorse
Dover's product mix spans engineered equipment, aftermarket parts, and specialty systems across fluid handling, refrigeration, identification, and automation. A representative business line is Dover Precision Components, which said on August 26, 2026 that it launched advanced innovation lab services for rotating and reciprocating machinery validation.
