Q4 2026 tests whether the pump sale closes, expected cash arrives, collections recover and annual guidance holds. From April 1, 2028, Costpoint cloud migration must show customer conversions and customers staying through the end of new on-premises features and updates. Across 2027–2028, AI bookings must become repeat paid usage, while acquisitions produce cash flow per share and leverage falls.

How much cash does Roper really make?

Stock compensation complicates the picture. Roper recorded $166.3 million of stock compensation in 2025. It does not leave the company as immediate cash, but it gives employees an economic claim on the company and can dilute shareholders. Subtracting it produces analytical “real free cash flow” of roughly $2.3 billion.

What does an investor pay for Roper today?

Free cash flow is a better starting point for valuation because it measures cash remaining after operating needs and capital spending. But Roper can use that cash to repay debt, buy companies, repurchase shares or pay dividends, so it is financial capacity rather than cash shareholders can always withdraw.
