Dover (DOV) Q2 Earnings Beat, Sales Lag Estimates, Up Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dover Corporation (DOV - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.56. The figure improved 20% from the prior-year quarter’s $1.30 per share. Earnings also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.55.
On a reported basis, Dover delivered earnings per share of $1.35 in the second quarter, up 25% year over year. Earnings included acquisition-related amortization costs of 18 cents and rightsizing costs of 3 cents.
Total revenues in the quarter came in at $1,811 million, marginally up from the year-ago quarter’s $1,798 million, backed by organic growth of 2.9% and acquisition growth of 0.8%. This was partly offset by a 2.5% unfavorable foreign-exchange impact. However, the revenue figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,861 million.
