Dole plc is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on August 10 before market open. The consensus revenue estimate is $2.5 billion, implying a 3.7% increase from the year-ago quarter, while the consensus earnings estimate is 50 cents per share, reflecting a nearly 9% decline. The company has faced elevated fruit sourcing costs due to weather-related supply constraints and higher fuel, freight, fertilizer, and packaging costs stemming from the Middle East conflict, which are expected to have pressured profitability. Dole has also benefited from strong fresh produce demand, disciplined pricing, and investments in its vertically integrated supply chain and high-growth categories like cherries and citrus. The stock has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9.73, below the industry average of 14.51, and its shares have lost 12.1% over the past six months.
