Dover Corporation reported robust fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, demonstrating broad-based revenue growth and improving profit margins across its diverse portfolio. The company closed the year with a 5% organic growth in the fourth quarter, marking its highest level of the year, supported by strong trends in secular growth markets and improving conditions in retail fueling and refrigerated door cases. Full-year bookings increased by 6%, reflecting 2025’s positive demand backdrop. On profitability, Dover delivered a solid improvement in segment EBITDA margins, which rose by 60 basis points to 24.8% for the quarter, driven by volume leverage and ongoing productivity initiatives. For the entire year, the adjusted EPS reached $9.61, representing a significant 16% gain. Notably, the company’s capital allocation strategy, including strategic acquisitions and a $500 million accelerated share repurchase program, complemented its operational results and enhanced long-term shareholder value potential.
