Factors to Note Regarding Dover’s Q2 Performance
DOV has been witnessing robust bookings across its segments on strong demand and shipment levels, which are likely to have benefited its third-quarter performance. Gains from the recent acquisitions are expected to have aided.
However, the impacts of divestitures and lower volumes in vehicle services are expected to have negated these gains. The company has also been facing reduced volumes in food retail door cases and services businesses.
Dover’s margins are likely to have benefited from robust volumes, an improved price-cost spread and tight cost controls for a while. However, the negative impacts of supply-chain constraints and input inflation have been acting as headwinds. These are likely to get reflected in DOV’s earnings results.
