Dover stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Dover's earnings keep growing at the 9.7% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 15.29 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (9.6 to 24.5) that is 146.45 to 374.45 a share, or 306.20 at its average P/E of 20.0. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 10.69 | 102.38 | 214.05 | 261.76 |
| FY2027 | 11.86 | 113.63 | 237.57 | 290.52 |
| FY2028 | 12.70 | 121.69 | 254.43 | 311.13 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 13.93 | 133.50 | 279.12 | 341.33 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 15.29 | 146.45 | 306.20 | 374.45 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 9.7% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (9.6, 20.0, 24.5).
Is Dover stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Dover's P/E of 24.4 is near the top of its 5-year range (7.7 to 29.3, median 18.0). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E. Buyers pay about the usual price for each point of growth: a PEG of 1.4 on expected growth against 1.6 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. Fair value is not a reliable guide for Dover: its earnings swing (EPS fell 59.3% in FY2025), so its usual P/E would mislead. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 19.7.
