Analysts Trim Dover's Price Target Post Q2 Results

RBC Capital analyst Deane Dray lowered the price target on Dover Corp DOV from $136 to $130 while maintaining the Sector Perform rating on the shares.
The analyst mentions that, as expected, the operating environment remains challenging, pressured by China lockdowns and component shortages, though management commentary suggested both situations are improving.
Price/cost continues to improve with expectations to be positive in 2H22, added Dray.
Consistent with prior signaling, orders and backlog are declining, but the positive spin is that these are welcomed signs of shortening lead times and improving supply chains, noted Dray.
