What the Analysts think about Air Liquide

Analyst projections of the future price of Air Liquide stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

In the first half of 2026, comparable sales rose 2.6%, recurring net profit increased 9.9% excluding currency effects, and the operating margin improved by 110 basis points. That combination of growth and cost control supports the near-term earnings case. (Air Liquide)
Air Liquide is adding long-term semiconductor supply contracts as chipmakers expand for AI and high-performance computing. Its planned investment of more than €170 million in Japan should deepen its position in a growth market, although the new units will take time to come on stream. (Air Liquide)
The new 2030 plan sets targets for 5% annual sales growth and 400–600 basis points of margin improvement, alongside a €4 billion share buyback in 2027–28. If delivered, the plan could lift earnings and return more cash to shareholders. (Air Liquide)
A record €6 billion project backlog has yet to produce meaningful like-for-like sales or earnings upgrades, while first-half recurring operating profit was slightly below analysts’ expectations. Investors may wait for clearer evidence that the projects are translating into faster growth. (Reuters)
First-half free cash flow after net interest fell to zero from €989 million a year earlier, and net debt rose to €13.9 billion from €8.4 billion at year-end. The working-capital outflow was a major factor, but weak cash conversion and higher debt remain near-term risks. (Investing.com)
Demand remains uneven: Europe grew just 0.7% in the second quarter and Large Industries sales declined 0.3%. Management’s expectation that second-half comparable growth will be similar to or slightly above the first half also falls short of market expectations for a stronger pick-up. (Investing.com)
