Dover earnings increased in the third quarter as demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure, power generation and energy-transition markets supported revenue growth. The industrial manufacturer reported $2.23 billion in revenue for the quarter ended September 30, up 8% from a year earlier.
Dover Earnings Show Broad Industrial Demand
Revenue increased from $2.08 billion in the prior-year quarter, while operating earnings rose to $419 million from $377 million. Adjusted diluted EPS reached $2.88, up 10%. Management said bookings grew across all five operating segments and again exceeded shipments.
| Third-quarter metric | 2026 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|

| Earnings from continuing operations | $337 million | $303 million | +11% |

Dover identified artificial intelligence and power-generation infrastructure among its strongest secular markets. The comments align with recent demand signals from Comfort Systems’ expanding backlog and Hyperscale Data’s AI infrastructure outlook.
AI, Clean Energy and Climate Units Lead Growth
Clean Energy & Fueling revenue rose to $606 million from $541 million. Climate & Sustainability Technologies generated $481 million, compared with $409 million a year earlier. Pumps & Process Solutions revenue increased to $569 million from $551 million.
Chief Executive Richard Tobin said artificial intelligence infrastructure, power generation, energy transition, biopharma, semiconductors and space launch supported top-line momentum. Dover also repurchased more than $330 million of shares during the quarter and completed investments tied to capacity and productivity.
Dover Earnings Outlook Keeps Double-Digit EPS Goal
Dover expects 2026 GAAP EPS of $8.93–$9.08 and adjusted EPS of $10.60–$10.75. Full-year revenue growth is forecast at 7%–8%, including 5%–6% organic growth. Management said part of the current backlog is scheduled for delivery in 2027.
The outlook remains forward-looking and depends on order conversion, customer spending, supply chains and trade conditions. Investors should compare Dover’s order trends with other cyclical industrial indicators, including SLB’s revenue and cash-flow results.
