Dover referenced AI primarily as a demand driver for its industrial components businesses rather than as a technology it develops or deploys internally. Management cited AI data center infrastructure as a key end-market, specifically driving demand for liquid cooling heat exchangers and connector products. AI was bundled with power generation infrastructure in a combined $1B+ revenue target for 2026, but was not separately quantified. No internal AI use cases, AI products sold to customers, or AI partnerships were discussed.

“We expect to generate over $1 billion in revenue from applications tied to artificial intelligence and power generation infrastructure this year.”
— Richard Tobin, DOV earnings call - T3Prepared remarks· CEO· Customer demand signal
“robust demand across all geographies for brazed plate heat exchanges to continue over the balance of the year with particular strength in North America tied to liquid cooling of data centers and other HVAC applications.”
— Richard Tobin, DOV earnings callbrazed plate heat exchangers - T3Prepared remarks· CEO· Customer demand signal
“fiber like composite solutions business which is seeing accelerating adoption globally, including increased specification and data center-related infrastructure applications from hyperscalers.”

“In data centers, increasing density of thermal requirements are necessitating a shift towards liquid cooling, which directly benefits our connector and heat exchanger businesses.”

“Heat exchanges performed especially well across all regions, particularly in North America on the growth in liquid cooling applications and data centers.”

“solid performance in artificial intelligence, energy infrastructure components and industrial pumps allowed us to lap a tough comp in biopharma”
— Richard Tobin, DOV earnings call - T2Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalSo Rich, I'm wondering like how are you thinking about the TAM for both CO2 systems and liquid cooling?
“if we were to install the capacity of some of the estimates of the TAM, there is never going to be enough capacity in the marketplace.”
— Richard Tobin, DOV earnings call - T1Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalSo Rich, I'm wondering like how are you thinking about the TAM for both CO2 systems and liquid cooling? Obviously, CO2 systems still way underpenetrated relative to Europe and just got back from data center world and liquid cooling is growing like wildfire. So I'm just trying to think about like what the opportunity is for you guys.
“I'll leave it to much larger market participants to try to figure out what that TAM is. But clearly, it's growing.”
— Richard Tobin, DOV earnings call
What management wouldn’t quantify.
Analyst questions where management declined to share a specific number. The pattern of refusals is often as informative as the disclosures.
- AI revenue is not separately disclosed; it is bundled with 'power generation infrastructure' in a combined >$1B revenue figure for 2026, making AI-specific contribution impossible to isolate.
- No breakdown provided between AI data center demand and other power infrastructure demand within the combined $1B+ revenue target.
- No quantification of liquid cooling heat exchanger revenue or growth rate attributable specifically to AI workloads versus other data center or HVAC applications.
- No discussion of any internal AI/ML tools, AI-assisted engineering, or AI productivity initiatives within Dover's own operations.
- No analyst directly asked management to isolate AI-specific revenue contribution.
