What the Analysts think about Linde
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Linde stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Linde stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Second-quarter adjusted EPS rose 10%, with underlying sales growth split evenly between higher prices and volumes. Linde lifted the low end of its 2026 EPS guidance and expects 8% to 9% full-year growth. (SEC)
Linde’s contractual sale-of-gas backlog reached a record $8.1 billion after a new long-term semiconductor supply win, while electronics sales grew 18% in the quarter. Continued chip-fab investment linked to AI and high-performance computing could provide a strong source of future growth. (Reuters, SEC)
Long-term customer contracts provide substantial revenue visibility: Linde estimated $64 billion of future minimum purchase and plant-sale commitments at June 2026. About half of the minimum-purchase revenue is expected over the next six years. (SEC)
Adjusted operating margin fell 60 basis points to 29.5%, as cost inflation offset pricing and productivity gains. Linde said its U.S. home-care business was the main Americas drag and is reviewing its strategic fit. (SEC, The Motley Fool)
Linde expects 2026 capital spending of $5.5 billion to $6.0 billion, while second-quarter free cash flow was $833 million after $1.44 billion of capital expenditure. Sustained high investment could leave less cash available for shareholder returns in the near term. (SEC)
Industrial demand remains uneven: EMEA underlying sales grew just 1% in the second quarter, with manufacturing volumes lower. Linde had also reported that on-site customers were shifting production away from continental Europe to more competitive assets, signalling a risk of continued regional weakness. (SEC, The Motley Fool)
