Dover Corporation (DOV) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Dover published the results on October 22, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Dover reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, continuing operations, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• EPS here is Dover's diluted EPS from continuing operations, the GAAP figure its release leads with. Diluted EPS on total net earnings, including a $3.5 million loss from discontinued operations, was $2.47, against $2.19 a year earlier.
• Dover reports in thousands; figures here are converted to millions. Net income shown is earnings from continuing operations.

How Dover splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Dover's Engineered Products revenue was $275 million in Q3 2026, down 2% from $280 million in Q3 2025, 12% of total revenue.
• Dover's Clean Energy & Fueling revenue was $606 million in Q3 2026, up 12% from $541 million in Q3 2025, 27% of total revenue.
• Dover's Imaging & Identification revenue was $305 million in Q3 2026, up 2% from $299 million in Q3 2025, 14% of total revenue.
• Dover's Pumps & Process Solutions revenue was $569 million in Q3 2026, up 3% from $551 million in Q3 2025, 25% of total revenue.
• Dover's Climate & Sustainability Technologies revenue was $481 million in Q3 2026, up 18% from $409 million in Q3 2025, 22% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

In its Q3 2026 release, Dover said:

“In 2026, Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS in the range of $8.93 to $9.08 (adjusted EPS of $10.60 to $10.75), based on full year revenue growth of 7% to 8% (organic growth of 5% to 6%).”

“We are on track to deliver double-digit adjusted EPS growth in 2026, in line with our long-term algorithm.”

Dover's next report is expected around January 28, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not yet confirmed. This page will show Q3 2026 until those results are out and have been checked against the release.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 22, 2026

Dover reports five operating segments. In Q3 2026 Clean Energy & Fueling was the largest at $606.0 million of $2,233.8 million in revenue, followed by Pumps & Process Solutions ($568.5 million), Climate & Sustainability Technologies ($481.5 million), Imaging & Identification ($304.7 million) and Engineered Products ($274.9 million). (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

Revenue rose 7.5%: 7.1% organic growth, 0.5% from acquisitions and a 0.1% drag from currency. Customer pricing added about 2.2% to revenue. Climate & Sustainability Technologies grew 17.9% organically on CO2 refrigerant systems, refrigerated door cases and heat exchangers used in data center cooling, and Clean Energy & Fueling grew 12.1% on retail fueling and clean energy components. Engineered Products had an organic decline of 1.6%. (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Dover Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

Pumps & Process Solutions revenue rose 3.2%, of which 1.7% came from the acquisition of Cloeren in the quarter. Its organic growth of 1.2% came from products for electrification and power generation infrastructure, single-use biopharma components and industrial pumps, partly offset by declines in polymer processing. (Dover Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

By geography, organic revenue grew 12.6% in the United States and 15.1% in Asia, and fell 3.0% in Europe and 7.0% in Other Americas. U.S. revenue was $1,272.5 million of the quarter's total. About 46% of Dover's 2025 revenues came from outside the United States. (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Dover Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026; Dover Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 13, 2026)

Dover's GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $2.50, up 14% from $2.20, and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations was $2.88, up 10% from $2.62. The adjusted figure adds back after-tax purchase accounting expenses, mostly amortization of acquired intangibles ($0.34 a share pre-tax, $0.09 tax), and restructuring and other costs ($0.16 pre-tax, $0.03 tax). (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

Total segment earnings rose to $543.1 million from $502.5 million, a margin of 24.3% against 24.2%. Imaging & Identification's margin rose to 31.2% from 27.3%, while Climate & Sustainability Technologies' fell to 16.7% from 18.6% on footprint consolidation and retail refrigeration production ramp costs. The effective tax rate was 19.9%, against 21.5%, which Dover put down mainly to an internal reorganization in 2026. (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Dover Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

Diluted weighted average shares were 134,878 thousand, against 138,029 thousand a year earlier. Dover repurchased 1,684,185 shares in the quarter for $331.6 million, an average of $196.88 a share, after making no repurchases in Q3 2025. Including a discontinued operations loss of $3.5 million, diluted EPS on net earnings was $2.47. (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Dover Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Dover gives a full-year outlook in its release. For 2026 it expects GAAP EPS of $8.93 to $9.08 and adjusted EPS of $10.60 to $10.75, on revenue growth of 7% to 8% and organic growth of 5% to 6%. The gap between the two EPS ranges is purchase accounting expenses of $1.16 and restructuring and other costs of $0.51 a share. (Dover Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

Dover's chief executive said bookings rose in all five segments and again outpaced shipments, and that a significant portion of the backlog is scheduled for delivery in 2027. Q3 2026 bookings were $2,310.1 million, up 15.5%, led by Climate & Sustainability Technologies, where bookings rose 43.1%.

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Dover, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Dover's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning DOV is on is DOV a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the DOV forecast, and what the company does is on the Dover Corporation (DOV) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Dover published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
