Dover Corp is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the company has a strong dividend history and some positive analyst sentiment, the recent financial performance, cautious congress trading data, and lack of strong proprietary trading signals suggest a wait-and-see approach is more prudent.
The stock shows a bullish trend with moving averages (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200) and a positive MACD histogram. However, RSI at 76.152 is in the neutral zone, and the stock is trading below the resistance level of 233.521. Short-term price predictions suggest limited upside potential.
Strong dividend history with 69 consecutive years of dividend growth.
Hedge funds are significantly increasing their positions in the stock.

In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 8.77% YoY, but net income and EPS dropped significantly by -80.36% and -80.15% YoY, respectively. Gross margin slightly declined to 39.1%. While revenue growth is positive, profitability metrics are concerning.
Analysts have mixed ratings on Dover Corp. While some firms like Seaport Research and Baird have raised price targets and maintain 'Buy' or 'Outperform' ratings, others like Morgan Stanley and Barclays maintain 'Equal Weight' ratings. Price targets range from $205 to $255, with the current price of $230.7 near the middle of this range.
