About Dole

Dole works across the full journey that fresh produce takes, from growing and sourcing through processing, marketing and getting goods to market. Shoppers would recognize its lineup of bananas, pineapples, grapes, berries and avocados, plus other deciduous and organic fruit, and the company rounds this out with lettuces such as iceberg and romaine along with celery. It also turns some of this produce into packaged salads and meal kits, and it puts its name on health foods and other consumer products.

Internally, Dole splits its work into four divisions: one for fresh fruit, one for fresh vegetables, and two more under a diversified fresh produce banner, with one of these focused on Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the other on the Americas and remaining world markets. Its customers include grocery retailers, wholesale distributors and businesses in foodservice, reflecting how broadly its produce travels once it leaves the farm.

The company runs its operations from Dublin, Ireland, and trades on the NYSE under the ticker DOLE.

Last earnings call, May 11, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Dole reported Q1 2026 revenue growth of 12% year-over-year with adjusted EBITDA of $100 million, in line with expectations. Strong performance in Diversified Americas and EMEA partially offset weaker Fresh Fruit results due to higher sourcing costs. The company received regulatory approval for its Ecuador port operations sale, expecting ~$75 million net proceeds. A ~$100 million warehouse automation/AI investment is being finalized in Sweden.
Guidance
Full year routine capital expenditure expected at approximately $100 million. The Ecuador port sale expected to close in Q2 2026. Management is pursuing bolt-on acquisitions in Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, with several opportunities in progress.
