Dover Corporation (DOV - Free Report) is an industrial conglomerate producing wide range of specialized industrial products and manufacturing equipment. The company mainly delivers innovative equipment and components, specialty systems and support services through four major operating segments: Energy, Engineered Systems, Fluids, and Refrigeration & Food Equipment.
In the second quarter, June revenues and earnings had significantly improved from April's results. The company expects to see this trend in the third quarter as well and subsequently an improved second half of the year. However, generally weaker capital spending across several industrial end markets, continued weakness in longer cycle oil and gas exposed markets, and persistent headwinds in its retail refrigeration business related to production inefficiencies are expected to affect Dover’s results.
We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just revealed third-quarter earnings announcement below:
