About this listen
In Episode 50 of “Market News with Rodney Lake,” Professor Lake, Director of the GW Investment Institute, analyzes Roper Technologies, an industrial operator turned high-margin software-as-a-service (SaaS) business. Under CEO Neil Hunn’s leadership since 2018, Roper has maintained gross margins around 70% and net margins near 20%, with projections suggesting an increase to 27%. Despite solid revenue and free cash flow, revenue growth has slowed from a peak of 15% in 2023 to a projected 8% in 2026. Lake cautions that Roper’s future performance will depend on whether management can effectively allocate capital—balancing acquisitions and organic growth—to sustain gross margins, expand net margins toward 27%, and justify a 28x valuation amid slowing revenue growth.
