Fundamental quality

ATTRACTIVE

75

out of 100

Dover Corp earns a fundamental-quality score of 75 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 0.88× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +4.3%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Dover is a textbook industrial conglomerate: pumps, supermarket refrigeration, fueling equipment, industrial printing and components for a thousand industries. Little glamour and lots of cash, with one of the longest dividend-growth streaks in the US market.

What will shape its future

  • A diversified industrial cycle: no single business sinks it, none rockets it.
  • Small, constant acquisitions, its lifelong growth method.
  • Tailwind niches (efficient cooling, data-center components) inside the group.
