Read MoreHide Full Article

Headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP - Free Report) designs, manufactures and distributes medical and scientific imaging products and software, radio frequency (RF) products, services and application software, industrial technology products and energy systems and controls products and solutions.

Roper Technologies caters to selected segments of a broad range of markets, which include oil & gas, scientific research, medical diagnostics, semiconductor, refrigeration, automotive, water & wastewater, power generation, agricultural irrigation and other niche industries.

However, the company is significantly exposed to cyclical slowdown in markets like Energy and Industrial. Sluggish macroeconomic growth is a concern for the company, as it lowers infrastructure spending, which negatively impacts Roper’s overall growth.
