Roper Technologies, Inc. (ISIN US7766961061) closed at USD 372.74 on Nasdaq on September 18, 2026, down 0.54 percent from the prior close. The stock was 16.3 percent below its 2026 starting level, while second quarter earnings supplied a counterpoint to the weaker share price.

Stock remains below yearly high

Market data show a 52-week range of USD 305.96 to USD 521.28 and a market capitalization of USD 36.86 billion as of September 18, 2026. Trading volume reached 3.31 million shares, compared with average volume of 624,241 shares, giving the latest decline a materially heavier volume profile than the reported average.

The closing price stood USD 148.54 below the 52-week high and USD 66.78 above the 52-week low on the same data snapshot. That position places the stock closer to the lower end of its annual range than to its peak, while the price-to-earnings ratio was 15.44.

Quarterly earnings beat estimates

According to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026, Roper reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 5.38 for the quarter released on July 23, 2026, exceeding consensus by USD 0.09. Revenue for that quarter increased 8.5 percent from the same period a year earlier.

The earnings comparison is important because it separates operating delivery from the share-price trend. A USD 0.09 EPS beat and 8.5 percent revenue growth indicate continued expansion in the latest reported quarter, even as the stock remained 16.3 percent below its opening level for 2026.

Consensus target stays higher

MarketBeat reported on September 21, 2026, that the consensus price target was USD 466.94 and the consensus rating was Hold, based on 7 buy ratings, 9 hold ratings and 3 sell ratings. The target was 25.3 percent above the USD 372.74 closing price.

That spread is a market expectation, not a forecast from this article. The central tension is visible in the numbers: the latest quarter delivered 8.5 percent year-over-year revenue growth and an EPS beat, while the share price remained 28.5 percent below its 52-week high of USD 521.28.

Nasdaq price remains the key reference

Roper Technologies stock closed at USD 372.74 on Nasdaq on September 18, 2026, after trading between USD 368.69 and USD 375.07 during the session. Extended trading reached USD 372.80 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time on September 18, 2026, but the regular-session close remains the reference price used here.
