RMD vs ROP Comparison

ResMed is one of the largest respiratory care device companies globally, primarily developing and supplying flow generators, masks, and accessories for the treatment of sleep apnea. Increasing diagnosis of sleep apnea, combined with aging populations and increasing prevalence of obesity, is resulting in a structurally growing market. The company earns roughly two-thirds of its revenue in the Americas and the balance across other regions dominated by Europe, Japan, and Australia. Recent developments and acquisitions have focused on digital health as ResMed is aiming to differentiate itself through the provision of clinical data for use by the patient, medical care advisor, and payer in the out-of-hospital setting.

Roper Technologies is a holding company focused on acquiring, managing, and developing niche market-leading technology businesses. The company operates a decentralized business model whereby each portfolio company operates independently from the others.

Presently, the company operates 30 distinct businesses with over three-fourths of the revenue coming from software products and over two-thirds of revenue coming from recurring and reoccurring sources.
