Dover Q3 2026: Orders up 16%, backlog +35% YoY, book-to-bill 1.03; secular growth markets now 25%+ of revenue with capacity-constrained heat exchangers and cryogenics driving 2027 visibility

Dover's Q3 2026 results are defined by order momentum, not current revenue: trailing 12-month bookings growing 16% year over year against 8% revenue growth, book-to-bill at 1.08 on a trailing basis, and a backlog 35% above prior-year levels with roughly half slated for 2027 shipment. The secular growth portfolio — now over 25% of total revenue, up from 18% in 2024 — is the engine, with Climate and Sustainability Technologies posting 18% organic growth led by liquid cooling for data centers and record CO2 refrigeration output. Management is accelerating pricing decisions ahead of schedule and narrowing full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $10.60–$10.75, representing double-digit growth, while deploying $400 million in buybacks year-to-date and committing approximately $80 million to two bolt-on acquisitions.
