RBC Capital lowered the firm’s price target on Roper Technologies (ROP) to $398 from $539 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares after its results and guidance.

The emerging AI-threat across Roper’s businesses remains a black cloud over the story and cannot be disproven for the next year or so, RBC added.
