#4 - Dover (NYSE:DOV)
Dover Corp. (NYSE: DOV) is a diversified global manufacturer of industrial equipment, including software and services across a range of industries. In its earnings presentation, the company noted its pivot towards clean energy industries.
In the last year, DOV stock is up 26.7% and it’s up over 18% in 2024. However, since the company’s July 2024 earnings report, the stock has been trading slightly lower. After a beat-and-raise quarter, there’s no immediate reason for investors to be pulling back other than the stock trading near its 52-week high. This seems like a buying opportunity.
Dover is another dividend king on this list of industrial stocks. The company has increased its dividend for 70 consecutive years and has a safe 19.7% payout ratio backed by analysts’ projections for high single-digit earnings growth. Its annualized three-year growth of 1.01% is lower than you might like, but it’s hard to beat the consistency of this recurring dividend.
