Roper Technologies, Inc. dividend reflects a software-focused business that spans vertical markets from K-12 school administration to pharmacy software and property-casualty insurance analytics. ROP currently yields 1.0%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $3.5550 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is October 2, 2026, with the last declared payment at $0.91 per share. A beta of 0.751 points to below-market price swings, which suits investors who prioritize dividend growth over immediate income.
Roper Technologies, Inc. pays out 14.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low figure leaves substantial room to sustain and grow the dividend even if earnings soften, and the company's broad base of cloud-based and subscription-oriented software products across healthcare, insurance, and education markets supports recurring revenue. Roper Technologies, Inc. dividend safety faces its most plausible pressure from acquisition-driven shifts in the business mix, though the current payout ratio provides a wide buffer against that risk.
Roper Technologies, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 15.5% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.38 to $3.30 over that span (2026 is a partial year at $3.64 declared). The smallest annual increase in the window was 9.8% in 2021, which still outpaced inflation by a meaningful margin.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +10.0% | $2.48 (2022) | $3.30 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +10.0% | $2.05 (2020) | $3.30 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +12.7% | $1.00 (2015) | $3.30 (2025) |
ROP fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion from a software business rather than a high starting yield. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 1.0%, which is actually above the 5-year average of 0.59%, so the entry yield is relatively attractive by ROP's own history. A 15.5% annual growth rate over 15 years is the defining characteristic here. The trade-off is straightforward: investors accept a thin income stream today in exchange for a dividend that has compounded at a rate few income stocks match. The 14.5% payout ratio means the dividend is not under pressure, but current income is limited.
