Roper Technologies (ROP) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Roper Technologies demonstrated strong financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2024, with adjusted revenue growing 16% year-over-year to $1.88 billion, along with an adjusted EBITDA increase of 13% to $743.6 million, showcasing a healthy EBITDA margin of 39.6%. The company's application software segment benefitted from an 8% year-over-year growth in organic recurring revenue, driven by robust double-digit growth in SaaS, while tech-enabled products also returned to growth, indicating a diverse and resilient revenue base. Furthermore, Roper's ample liquidity, with over $5 billion available for acquisitions, positions the company well for strategic expansion through M&A activities in a favorable market environment.
Bears say
Roper Technologies is facing a negative outlook as margins are projected to decline year-over-year, impacted by lower revenues from the Transact acquisition during the seasonally weak first quarter of 2025, alongside adjustments in earnings per share reflecting ongoing margin pressures from its Application Software segment. The company concluded the fourth quarter of 2024 with a net leverage ratio of 2.6x, providing access to its credit line, but future acquisition financing may be jeopardized should credit markets deteriorate, limiting growth opportunities. Additionally, Roper’s total gross margin fell short at 68.3%, and its operating margin of 28.0% also did not meet expectations, illustrating potential vulnerabilities in its operational performance amidst ongoing market volatility and geopolitical uncertainties.
