Exceptionally Strong Quarter From Industrial Bellwether Dover Prompts Us to Raise FVE

Joshua Aguilar Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Joshua Aguilar |

Narrow-moat rated Dover knocked the cover off the ball in its first-quarter 2021 earnings results. Despite us modeling at the highest point of the prior full-year guidance range for revenue and earnings, since we believed then that management was guiding conservatively, Dover is on track to materially outpace our, consensus’, and management’s own prior full-year 2021 expectations. On the heels of this outperformance, we lift our fair value estimate to $128 per share from $116 previously (about 10%).
