We are buying 30 s of Dover at roughly $183. ing the trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 720 s of DOV, increasing its weighting to 3.6% from 3.44%.
With Wednesday's slight losses, Dover has pulled back 4% since the company reported a better-than-expected second quarter and raised its full-year outlook last Thursday.
Although the market has yet to come around to our more bullish view, we see the lack of positive reaction to Dover's results as a buying opportunity.
The quarter wasn't perfect and one could argue 1% organic growth is sluggish in an environment where industrials tied to more secular themes aerospace, electrification, and power generation — think Eaton and GE Vernova — are growing much faster.
Still, the results checked off a bunch of positive boxes. Adjusted segment EBITDA hit a company record 25.1%, and the sales setup into the back half of the year are mising thanks to 7% bookings growth.
Another aspect we d was Dover accelerating its growth and ductivity investments to support long-term growth.
Dover is also a cheap stock versus its peers, and yet this management team has a strong track record of dering 9% to 10% adjusted earnings per growth and deserves more credit for its capital deployment into faster growing, high-margin es.
Here are two other moves we'd make if we were not restricted: We would be buyers of Starbucks on its post-earnings softness because of the momentum in CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround strategy.
We view the sell-off in Palo Alto Networks on the news of its acquisition of CyberArk as a buying opportunity. The strategic rationale behind this $25 billion deal makes a lot of sense.
It gives Palo Alto Network's leadership in a highly fragmented market and the cross-selling opportunities here are significant, considering it has 70,000 customers compared to CyberArk's 8,000.
We are upgrading our rating on Palo Alto s to a 1. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long DOV.
