Sarasota, Florida-based Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP) is a diversified technology and industrial growth company. Valued at a market cap of $61.6 billion, it specializes in designing and developing software and technology-enabled products tailored for niche, high-value end markets, ranging from enterprise application software and network systems to measurement, analytical, and process technologies. The company is expected to announce its fiscal Q2 earnings for 2025 before the market opens on Monday, Jul. 21.
Prior to this event, analysts project this tech company to report a profit of $4.82 per share, up 7.6% from $4.48 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has exceeded Wall Street’s bottom-line estimates in each of the last four quarters. Its earnings of $4.78 per share in the previous quarter outpaced the consensus estimates by 1.1%.
For the full year, analysts expect ROP to report EPS of $19.91, up 8.7% from $18.31 in fiscal 2024. Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 7.7% year-over-year to $21.44 in fiscal 2026.
Shares of ROP have gained marginally over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 13% return and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 10.7% uptick over the same time frame.
On Apr. 28, shares of ROP plunged 1% after its Q1 earnings release. The company’s revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $1.9 billion and met Wall Street estimates. Meanwhile, its adjusted DEPS of $4.78 grew 8.4% from the year-ago quarter, surpassing the consensus estimates by 1.1%. Its adjusted EBITDA increased by 9.5% year-over-year to $740 million. However, its adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 90 basis points, likely raising investor concerns about margin pressures. Its adjusted operating cash flow also dipped slightly to $529 million, compared to the same quarter last year.
Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, ROP raised its full-year 2025 guidance. It now expects adjusted DEPS to be between $19.80 and $20.05, and projects revenue growth of around 12%, with organic revenue growth of 6% to 7%.
Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about ROP’s stock, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 16 analysts covering the stock, nine recommend "Strong Buy," one suggests a "Moderate Buy,” five advise “Hold,” and one indicates a "Strong Sell” rating. The mean price target for ROP is $638.62, which indicates a 12.8% potential upside from the current levels.
