We cannot judge Dover Corporation yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

The Quality Score for DOV stands at 5.9 out of 10 as of October 18, 2026, which puts Dover Corporation in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Dover Corporation’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 270 Industrials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 57th percentile, above the middle of the group. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.6 and a company needs 6.5 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Dover Corporation in line with the median.
Dover Corporation’s profitability score is 5.9 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.9 among 262 Industrials companies, that is above the group and the 65th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
On solvency, Dover Corporation scores 8.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 7.1 across 241 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 63rd percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.
On growth, Dover Corporation scores 3.5, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 5.4 across 216 Industrials companies, which places it well below them, at the 25th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
On efficiency, Dover Corporation scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 264 Industrials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 44th percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
On predictability, Dover Corporation scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 71st percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The gap between Dover Corporation’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 8.0 against growth at 3.5, 4.5 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Of everything that could lift Dover Corporation’s score, growth matters most. Bringing it up to the 5.4 median of Industrials companies would take the overall from 5.9 to roughly 6.3. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Dover Corporation has a reading on every pillar.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
