Shares in diversified technology company Roper Technologies (NYSE: ROP) rose 11.4% in July, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The move comes in line with an excellent set of second-quarter earnings released toward the end of the month.

With most other industrial companies reporting horrific second-quarter earnings, it came as somewhat of a surprise to see Roper report only a 2% year-over-year decline in its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) during the quarter.
