What the Analysts think about Lincoln Electric
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Lincoln Electric stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In Q2 2025, Lincoln Electric achieved net sales of $1.088 billion, a 6.6% year-over-year increase driven by 2.9% organic growth and a 3.0% boost from acquisitions (RTTNews).
The company’s adjusted operating income margin rose to 17.9% in Q2 2025 from 17.4% a year earlier, reflecting stronger operational efficiency and pricing power (Business Wire).
Lincoln Electric’s full acquisition of Alloy Steel Australia strengthens its maintenance and repair solutions for the mining industry and is expected to contribute $0.13–$0.15 per share annually (Business Wire).
In Q1 2025, Lincoln Electric’s organic sales declined by 1.2%, which offset gains from acquisitions and pointed to underlying weakness in demand from core end-markets (Business Wire).
First-quarter results were also hit by a 1.3% negative foreign exchange impact, highlighting ongoing currency risk due to a strong US dollar (Business Wire).
Lincoln Electric missed Q1 2025 consensus expectations, posting adjusted EPS of $2.16 against the Zacks estimate of $2.22—a 2.7% shortfall that signals margin pressure (Nasdaq).
