barrons3	Roper Industries (ROP) has been enriching its dividends every year since initiating them in 1992. Tuesday, it added a penny to its common payout, bringing it to 8.25 cents a share. The distribution, record and ex dates are Jan. 30, Jan. 9 and Jan. 7. The stock trades on the Big Board at a little under 37, down from a 52-week high of 70.48, giving it a yield of 0.90%. Roper, based in Sarasota, Fla., makes products for the global water, energy and radio-frequency markets and for use in research and medical applications. The company, which has $2.3 billion in annual revenue, generated record cash flow in the third quarter, as its margins continued to expand. As of Sept. 30, Roper had $156 million in cash. It expects to earn $3.13 to $3.16 a share in 2008. That's down from a previous estimate of $3.16 to $3.22, but up from 2007's $2.68.	Love	November 22, 2008
