Our predicted date is Thursday, November 5. This is when we
expect DOVER Corp to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
DOVER Corp pays dividends quarterly. We hold 176 payments for it, going back to February 1982 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares. We don't publish a predicted next ex-dividend date for DOV. As soon as the company declares one it will appear at the top of this page; until then the record below is what we hold.

DOVER Corp's dividend schedule
DOVER Corp has paid quarterly across the 44 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 31, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, DOV declares a dividend a median of 22 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice DOV gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 17 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 23 raises in our record, most take effect with the August payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount.
