Linde raised the bottom end of its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $17.70 from $17.60, reflecting management’s confidence in sustained margin expansion and backlog conversion (Reuters).
The company secured a long-term semiconductor supply agreement and committed approximately $1 billion to expand ultra-high-purity gas capacity in Arizona, bolstering its project backlog and exposure to the fast-growing AI chip market (Reuters).
Adjusted operating profit margin contracted by 60 basis points to 29.5% year-over-year as rising cost inflation in the Americas, particularly in the Lincare home care unit, pressured profitability (Reuters).
Shares slid 5.9% intraday following the Q2 release, hitting a session low of $466.88 as investors reacted to modest guidance increases that failed to offset margin concerns (Reuters).
