Once a maker of industrial pumps and valves, the company spent two decades using that cash flow to buy vertical software businesses and has largely finished the transformation into a software holding company. Each subsidiary serves a narrow professional niche such as legal case management, construction bidding, or health-system billing, where the software is the system of record and competition is limited. The operating model is deliberately decentralized: capital allocation is run centrally, operations are not. Recurring revenue and low capital intensity are the stated reasons for exiting industrial products. Headquarters are in Sarasota, Florida.

Equity comp at Roper Technologies

  • Roper ties executive restricted stock unit vesting to company financial performance rather than time alone. Instead of shares simply vesting after a set number of years, executives vest after 3 years only if performance targets are met, and can earn double their target share count if adjusted net earnings growth exceeds 10 percent per year over that period. On a change in control, Roper uses double-trigger vesting: equity only accelerates if both a change in control occurs and the executive is terminated without cause (or resigns for good reason) afterward, not from the change in control alone. The company also does not provide excise tax gross-ups on change in control payments.
  • RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.
  • Vesting schedule: Equity awards to named executive officers cliff vest after a 3 year period (not the standard 4 year with 1 year cliff), and since 2022 this applies to all named executive officers, not just the CEO. Awards are also performance-based rather than solely time-based: executives can earn up to an incremental 100 percent of target shares (called Overdrive Shares) if adjusted net earnings growth over the 3 year period exceeds a 10 percent compound annual rate. Director RSUs follow a separate schedule: half vests 6 months after grant, the rest vests the day before the next annual shareholder meeting..

A protective put caps your downside on the ROP position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current ROP option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Example: a 5,000-share ROP position at $354.32 is worth $1,771,600. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $35,432 to $70,864) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off ROP's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Roper Technologies equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge ROP stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and ROP's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current ROP option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Roper Technologies grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Roper Technologies typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Roper Technologies RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
Yes. Roper Technologies restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
