Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ROP

09/24/2026: ROP (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Roper Technologies is a diversified technology firm that has successfully transitioned from traditional industrial manufacturing to a high-margin, recurring-revenue vertical software business. Its core strengths lie in its disciplined capital allocation, acquisition of niche-leading products like Deltek, and the generation of steady cash flow. The primary investment story centers on its ability to compound value through the digitization of complex, professional industries. Risks include execution pressure from its heavy acquisition reliance and sensitivity to enterprise spending patterns. Roper is well-suited for growth and dividend-focused investors seeking a stable, high-quality compounding engine, though investors should monitor future acquisition discipline and valuation levels.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ROP receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ROP has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 31.5%) and solid revenue growth (+12.3%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-0.8%), very low insider ownership of 0.39%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ROP's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $2.5B (31.5% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is ROP's strongest growth driver at +12.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-0.8%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 106.8% and approximately 99.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.39%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

BlackRock Inc 9.59%
WINDACRE PARTNERSHIP LLC 8.73%
Dodge & Cox 7.14%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.88%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.87%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ROP generates approximately $692 of gross profit, $283 of operating income, and $315 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 20.65%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ROP has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
