With markets collapsing, top dividend stocks are getting caught up in the pullback – which investors may want to take advantage of.

Look at Roper Technologies (ROP).

Roper Technologies is a diversified technology company that acquires and manages niche vertical software and technology-enabled product businesses. It operates primarily in application software (healthcare, transportation, education), network software, and engineered products.

After slipping from about $400 to about $313, it’s just starting to recover.  Better, while we wait for it to recover even more lost ground, we can collect its yield of 1.06%.

ROP declined significantly after the company’s full-year 2026 guidance. Management expects revenue growth of only “approximately 8%,” against Wall Street’s expectation of around 9%, and guided adjusted earnings per share of $21.30 to $21.55 against the analyst consensus of $21.65. Worse, Q1 2026 EPS guidance range of $4.95-$5.00 came in below the Street’s estimate of $5.18. 

But does all of this warrant a 40% dive below its high? Nope. 

ROP declared a dividend of 91 cents a share, which was payable on April 22 to shareholders of record as of April 6.
