Dover reports Q1 adjusted EPS $2.28, consensus $1.97

Reports Q1 revenue $2.05B, consensus $2B. Dover’s (DOV) president and CEO, Richard 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.”
