<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Dover has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Dover's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Dover's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.44%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Dover shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 financial results and cut its FY24 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

Dover Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOV#NYSE">DOV</a>) shares are trading lower on Thursday after the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41511869/dover-reports-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> company reported third-quarter results</a>.
Revenue stood at $1.984 billion, an increase of&nbsp;1%&nbsp;year-over-year, missing the&nbsp;consensus of&nbsp;$2.045 billion.&nbsp;
Segment earnings margin expanded to&nbsp;22.6% from 21.9% a year ago. Total adjusted segment EBITDA margin expanded to&nbsp;24.4%&nbsp;from&nbsp;23.7%&nbsp;a year ago.
Booking increased&nbsp;5.6%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$1.853 billion in the quarter. Adjusted EPS was&nbsp;$2.27, up&nbsp;6% over the prior year, missing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;$2.29</a>.
Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled&nbsp;$353.2 million, and free cash flow was&nbsp;$315.5 million.
2024&nbsp;Outlook: Dover lowered adjusted EPS from&nbsp;$9.05 &#8211; $9.20 to $8.08&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;$8.18 (consensus of&nbsp;$8.84)&nbsp;and&nbsp;revised revenue growth <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from&nbsp;3% –&nbsp;4% to 1% &#8211; 3%</a>.

Dover&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, &#8220;Top line performance was broad-based across the majority of the portfolio, more than offsetting near-term headwinds in polymer processing, beverage can-making, and heat exchangers for European heat pumps. Consolidated bookings continued their positive trajectory, with robust order rates in our secular-growth-exposed markets.&#8221;
&#8221;We closed the divestiture of our&nbsp;Environmental Solutions Group&nbsp;business in early October, reducing our exposure to cyclical capital goods. We expect to end the year with substantial firepower to pursue value-creating capital deployment as we continue to expand our businesses in high growth, high margin priority platforms.&#8221;
&#8221;We have a constructive outlook for the remainder of 2024 and for next year. Underlying end market demand is very healthy across the portfolio driven by our secular growth platforms, coupled with the bottoming of our long-cycle-exposed end markets in 2024.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via ProShares S&amp;P Kensho Smart Factories ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAKX#NYSE">MAKX</a>) and iShares Trust iShares U.S. Manufacturing ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MADE#NYSE">MADE</a>).
