Roper Technologies reported second-quarter revenue of $1.94 billion, up 13 percent and slightly ahead of estimates, with 7 percent organic growth and a 6 percent boost from acquisitions. Adjusted earnings rose 9 percent to $528 million, or $4.87 a share, topping forecasts by four cents. The industrial software and equipment maker projected third-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.08 to $5.12 per share and announced an agreement to purchase a church-management software provider for roughly $800 million, extending its push into niche vertical software. Life-sciences conglomerate Danaher also topped expectations, posting second-quarter revenue of $5.9 billion and adjusted earnings of $1.80 a share, compared with consensus estimates of $5.84 billion and $1.64, respectively. Strength in the bioprocessing unit helped the company lift its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $7.70–$7.80 from $7.60–$7.75, while maintaining an outlook for about 3 percent core revenue growth in 2025. Energy-services provider Halliburton generated $5.5 billion in second-quarter revenue, edging past analysts’ $5.42 billion view, though adjusted earnings of $0.55 a share fell a penny short. Drilling and Evaluation sales reached $2.34 billion, while Completion and Production revenue was $3.17 billion, both modestly above estimates. Operating income in Completion and Production, however, missed forecasts at $513 million. The trio of results signals a solid start to the U.S. mid-summer earnings season, with industrial, life-science and energy firms largely overcoming a fluid macroeconomic backdrop to outpace revenue expectations, though margins remain mixed.
