It has operations around the globe but generates over half of its revenue in the United States.

Baird Maintains Outperform on Dover, Lowers Price Target to $219

Despite growing skepticism on Wall Street, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer remains optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center stocks.
What Happened: Cramer acknowledged the turbulence in AI stocks, especially following revelations from DeepSeek, a Chinese startup. On top of that, there&#8217;s anxiety about Donald Trump's tariff policies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44780349/trumps-tariff-policies-fuel-economic-concerns-economists-expect-slower-growth-ahead">potentially hurting the broader economy</a>.
However, he thinks the data center boom isn't slowing down, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/jim-cramer-explains-why-hes-still-optimistic-on-data-center-buildout-.html">reported</a> CNBC on Thursday.
The Mad Money host mentioned that executives at Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&nbsp; have said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44914250/amazon-follows-microsofts-lead-halts-some-data-center-deals-executive-says-routine-capacity-management">they're still spending big</a> on data centers.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) may be building <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44733013/microsoft-shelves-1-billion-ohio-data-center-plans-amid-global-project-withdrawals-we-are-slowing-or-pausing-some-early-stage-projects">fewer data centers</a> for OpenAI, but Cramer said that's likely because ChatGPT-parent is now raising its own money to do it independently.

He believes that if trade tensions ease and AI enthusiasm resurges, several sectors are poised for significant growth, including:
<ul>
<li>Semiconductors: Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>)</li>
<li>Server and networking gear: Arista Networks (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>)</li>
<li>Data center builders and power suppliers: CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>)</li>
<li>Cooling and climate control: Carrier Global (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARR#NYSE">CARR</a>), Trane Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TT#NYSE">TT</a>)</li>
<li>Industrial manufacturers: Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>), Dover Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOV#NYSE">DOV</a>)</li>
</ul>
"These are very much cyclical companies, so you can't just buy them if you think we're headed into a recession," he stated, adding, "But if we get a reprieve on some of…these tariff issues and investors return to the AI trade, I just gave you everything that's going to fly again."
Why It's Important: In January, DeepSeek's assertion that its AI model was built at a fraction of the cost of its U.S. competitors led to Nvidia losing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43876025/nvidia-ceo-attributed-the-deepseek-led-sell-off-to-investor-misconception-on-ai-spending-obviously-that-paradigm-is-wrong">$600 billion in market cap</a> in just one day.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44926902/imf-slashes-us-growth-outlook-as-trump-tariffs-bite-raises-recession-odds-to-40">significantly revised down its 2025 growth</a> forecast for the U.S., attributing the downgrade to President Trump&#8217;s broad tariffs and increasing economic uncertainty.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives the company a strong growth score of 94.78%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other top tech giants</a> such as Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, Arm, and more.

Wall Street Rally Extends Into Third Day: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

WIIM

DOV stock has given up its prior loss. Dover shares were trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q1 sales results and lowered its FY25 EPS and adjusted EPS guidance.

Dover Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOV#NYSE">DOV</a>) shares are trading lower by over 4.8% premarket after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44974373/dover-reports-first-quarter-2025-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported first-quarter results</a> on Thursday.
According to the company&#8217;s earnings release:
<ul>
<li>Revenue was $1.87 billion, down 1% year over year (Y/Y) and slightly below the consensus of $1.88 billion. </li>
<li>Segment earnings margin expanded 230 bps Y/Y to&nbsp;22.0%. Total adjusted segment EBITDA margin expanded to&nbsp;24.0%&nbsp;from&nbsp;21.6%&nbsp;a year ago.</li>
<li>Margin improved aided by the favorable mix of high margin, high growth platforms and strict cost containment and productivity actions.</li>
<li>Booking fell <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.dovercorporation.com/static-files/b4cf6deb-ed41-45e3-b7bd-3419c41693ca" rel="noreferrer noopener">1</a>%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$1.99 billion in the quarter. Adjusted EPS was&nbsp;$2.05, up&nbsp;19% Y/Y, beating&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;$1.98</a>.</li>
<li>Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled&nbsp;$157.5 million, and free cash flow was&nbsp;$109.3 million.</li>
</ul>
2025&nbsp;Outlook: Dover lowered the adjusted EPS outlook to&nbsp;$9.20-$9.40 (from $9.30–$9.50)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> vs. consensus of&nbsp;$9.25</a>.
Meanwhile, the company reiterated total revenue growth&nbsp;guidance at 2%-4%, which translates to a range of $7.90 billion-$8.06 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43338990" rel="noreferrer noopener">(vs&nbsp;consensus of $8.01 billion)</a>.
Dover CEO Richard J. Tobin noted the company&#8217;s &#8220;particular strength&#8221; in secular-growth-exposed markets in single-use biopharma components, thermal connectors, and CO2 systems.&#8217;
&#8221;We tend to manufacture in the same regions in which we sell, with our cost and revenue bases largely aligned. And we currently have an advantaged capital position that serves as a healthy insurance policy while allowing us to opportunistically play offense in capital deployment decisions,&#8221; he added.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;ProShares S&amp;P Kensho Smart Factories ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAKX#NYSE">MAKX</a>) and First Trust Capital Strength ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTCS#NASDAQ">FTCS</a>).
Price Action: Dover shares are down 3.46 at $160.60 premarket at the last check Thursday.

<h3>A Look at Dover P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 26.23 in the Machinery industry, Dover Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 16.44. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744308022_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
