At a last close of $357.88 against a narrative fair value of $460.38, Roper Technologies sits at a sizeable modeled discount, with that gap built on detailed assumptions about software led growth, margins, and capital deployment running through 2029.

Ongoing, disciplined capital deployment into high growth, high margin vertical market software leaders (e.g., Subsplash, CentralReach) is incrementally raising the portfolio's underlying organic growth rate and long term margin profile, supporting robust free cash flow compounding and the potential for EBITDA margin expansion.
