Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) stands as a global manufacturing powerhouse with a broad spectrum of industrial products. The company’s presence is integrated into everyday life, from the fuel pumps at your local gas stations to the refrigerators in your favorite supermarkets. However, the reach of Dover’s influence extends significantly deeper, offering a comprehensive range of equipment, services, as well as parts and components to other industries.

Organized into five distinct segments—Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Climate & Sustainability Technologies—Dover’s portfolio is expansive and highly diversified. The company is focused on innovation in each field and, in 2018, launched a digital lab to ensure that each business segment remains at the forefront of digital transformation.

Dover’s broad global portfolio is not merely about boasting product variety. The diversified sources of revenue provide a strategic ability to maintain robust cash flow generation throughout various business cycles. For over a decade, Dover has consistently achieved a return on capital that not only exceeded the average in the industrial sector but also nearly doubled the broader S&P 500[1].

Dover's earnings resilience can be evident without the need to dig through quarterly financial statements. As a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats[2], Dover has established an exceptional record of increasing dividends for 60 consecutive years, underscoring its stability and commitment to shareholder returns.
