Action:ReiteratedDate:04/02/26
The score is driven primarily by strong margins and robust, high-quality free cash flow. It’s tempered by profitability pressure and gradually higher leverage, a technically weak longer-term trend (price well below 100/200-day averages), and a relatively expensive valuation. Earnings guidance supports steady growth and strong cash generation but remains conservative due to multiple business-specific headwinds.
Positive Factors
High recurring revenue mix
Roper's revenue mix is heavily weighted to subscription, maintenance and data access, with enterprise bookings and mid-single to low-double digit recurring growth. That durable recurring base supports predictable cash flows, high retention, and reduced cyclicality versus transaction businesses over a multi-quarter horizon.
Negative Factors
Rising leverage and limited cash coverage
Leverage has increased and operating cash flow covers only ~0.68x of total debt, reducing margin for error on cyclical dips or large acquisitions. Over several quarters this constrains financial flexibility, increases interest and covenant sensitivity risk, and limits the payoff speed for incremental leverage.

Earnings Call Date:Jan 27, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
Balanced. The company delivered solid reported outcomes — double‑digit revenue and EBITDA growth, strong free cash flow, robust bookings and active capital deployment — and has meaningful balance sheet capacity and a clear AI and M&A strategy. Offsetting this are several material operating headwinds: organic growth came in below expectations, Deltek (GovCon exposure), ProCare execution delays, Neptune normalization and a muted freight market at DAT. Management is conservative in 2026 guidance (excluding assumed recoveries at key underperformers) while signaling steps to address execution issues and scale AI productization. Overall the call reflects steady underlying financial strength coupled with portfolio-specific challenges that temper near-term upside.Positive Updates
Strong Full-Year Financial Performance
FY2025 revenue $7.9B, up 12% YoY; EBITDA $3.1B (39.8% margin), up 11% YoY; adjusted DEPS $20, up 9% YoY; free cash flow ~ $2.5B, up 8% YoY and representing ~31% of revenue.
Negative Updates
Organic Growth Below Expectations
Organic growth underperformed management’s expectations in 2025: FY organic growth ~5.5% (below targets) and Q4 organic growth 4% (primary driver of missing the firm's internal outlook); nonrecurring revenue weakness was a headwind (Application Software nonrecurring down ~8% in Q4).

Company Guidance
Roper guided 2026 to roughly 8% full‑year revenue growth with 5–6% organic growth, adjusted DEPS of $21.30–$21.55 (Q1 DEPS $4.95–$5.00), a full‑year effective tax rate near 21% (about 22% in Q1), and expects free cash flow to be safely over 30% of revenue (driven by working‑capital and cash‑tax improvements); the guide does not assume improvement at Deltek (GovCon) or DAT (freight), underwrites modest top‑line weakness at Neptune, anticipates stronger second‑half organic growth as Central Reach and Subsplash turn organic, does not bake in meaningful AI revenue uplift, and reflects ample capital flexibility—entering 2026 with net leverage ~2.9x, roughly $300M cash, ~$2.7B available on the revolver (> $6B total deployment capacity), and $2.5B remaining on the $3B repurchase authorization after $500M (1.1M shares at just under $446) bought in Q4.Roper Technologies Financial Statement Overview
