Frequently Asked Questions

Is ROP stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

ROP trades at $414.25 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $368.11, implying -16% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 10.7% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($543.55) suggests limited upside.

What is ROP's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $2.33B, projected at 10.7% 5Y CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth), discounted at 10.0% WACC, with 3.0% terminal growth. Terminal value calculated via Gordon Growth Model: TV = FCF₅ × (1+g) / (WACC−g). After deducting $7.48B net debt and dividing by 0.11B shares: Bear $240.09 | Base $368.11 | Bull $543.55. Current price $414.25 implies -16% to base case.

How is ROP's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 10.7% growth derived from 5-year historical CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth, with 8% floor and 25% cap).

② Calculate terminal value at year 5 using perpetuity growth model with g=3.0%.

③ Discount all cash flows to PV using WACC=10.0%.

④ Sum PV of explicit period + PV of terminal value = Enterprise Value ($47.24B).

⑤ Subtract net debt, divide by shares outstanding.

Sensitivity analysis available above—adjust WACC ±2% or growth ±3% to stress-test the valuation. Implied EV/FCF multiple: 20.3x.
