Dover's second quarter 2026 results were defined as much by what went right across four segments as by a self-inflicted stumble in refrigeration. Consolidated revenue grew 7% in total and 5% organically, with all five segments posting positive organic growth. Adjusted EPS of $2.74 rose 12% year over year, marking another quarter of double-digit earnings growth, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 80 basis points to 25.9%, with incremental margins accelerating sharply from 25% in Q1 to 38% in Q2, a reflection of healthy product mix and operational leverage across the portfolio. The company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance, citing first-half momentum, broad-based order strength, and improving second-half visibility.
