How Many ROP Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $3.64 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 1,649 ROP shares, about $780,125 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $473.09. $1,000 a month takes about 3,297 shares, about $1,559,778. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Roper Technologies (ROP) pays $0.91 a share quarterly, $3.64 a year, a 0.77% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $473.09. It has paid since 1992 and raised its annual dividend 28 years in a row, one of the 68 Dividend Aristocrats.
At today’s rate of $0.91 quarterly and the last close of $473.09, this is what ROP pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.91 | $0.30 | $3.64 |
| 100 shares | $91.00 | $30.33 | $364.00 |
| $10,000 invested (21.1 shares) | $19.24 | $6.41 | $76.94 |
| 1,649 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.59 | $500.20 | $6,002.36 |
| 3,297 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.27 | $1,000.09 | $12,001.08 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 ROP shares reinvest into 0.19 new shares each payment, about 0.8 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 520 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

ROP Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 0.57%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.
When Is ROP’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026
ROP has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Jan 1, 2027, with the cash around Jan 4, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.91 a share, went ex on Oct 2, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)

ROP vs Similar Dividend Stocks (NOK, PCRFF...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Technology companies closest to ROP in market value, ROP’s 0.77% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 2.00%, and its raise streak of 28 years is the longest. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.

Is ROP’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. ROP paid out 14% of its earnings and 15% of its free cash flow as dividends over the 4 quarters to Sep 30, 2026. It has raised its dividend 28 years in a row and gone 33 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2000, 2008, 2020 and 2022 crashes. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my ROP dividends?
Add ROP to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run ROP in the DRIP calculator.
