Company Report

Roper Earnings: Healthy Enterprise Software Demand and Improving M&A Pipeline

Wide-moat Roper Technologies posted reasonable second-quarter results that track our full-year expectations. The diversified technology firm and cash compounder reported mixed organic growth across a portfolio of software and legacy industrial offerings, alongside contribution from recently acquired firms ProCare and Syntellis. Following the result, which marginally missed consensus revenue estimates, Roper shares corrected about 8% toward our unchanged $480 fair value estimate, but they continue to screen as overvalued on a risk-adjusted basis.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

We expect Roper to continue execute on the firm’s highly successful playbook of using excess cash to acquire cash rich businesses at reasonable valuations.

Bears

Roper’s acquisition heavy model presents significant execution risk, and the firm may struggle to find attractive acquisition targets.
