Is Dover Corporation under- or over-valued?
Valuing Dover Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Dover Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Dover Corporation's P/E ratio
Dover Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Dover Corporation shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Dover Corporation's PEG ratio
Dover Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.108. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Dover Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Dover Corporation's EBITDA
Dover Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Dover Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dover Corporation's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Dover Corporation.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Dover Corporation's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 30.87
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Dover Corporation's overall score of 30.87 (as at 01/01/2019) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 55th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Dover Corporation is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Dover Corporation's environmental score
Environmental score: 9.29/100
Dover Corporation's environmental score of 9.29 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Dover Corporation is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Dover Corporation's social score
Social score: 18.14/100
Dover Corporation's social score of 18.14 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Dover Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Dover Corporation's governance score
Governance score: 10.44/100
Dover Corporation's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Dover Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Dover Corporation's controversy score
Controversy score: 1/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Dover Corporation scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Dover Corporation has managed to keep its nose clean.
Dover Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 25.91% of net profits
Recently Dover Corporation has paid out, on average, around 25.91% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.71% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dover Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.71% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dover Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.995 per share.
While Dover Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Dover Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Dover Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 June 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 May 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Dover Corporation's shares ever split?
Dover Corporation's shares were split on a 1238:1000 basis on 9 May 2018. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1238 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Dover Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dover Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Dover Corporation's share price.
Dover Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Dover Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $117.21 up to $182.7634. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Dover Corporation's is 1.402. This would suggest that Dover Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
