LIN: Pricing Power And Capital Returns Will Shape Fairly Valued Helium Exposure
Linde's analyst fair value estimate has moved from $525.49 to $540.61 as analysts factor in updated assumptions around revenue growth, profit margins, and P/E expectations, reflected in a series of recent price target increases from several banks. Analyst Commentary Recent research shows a cluster of higher price targets and one rating upgrade, which together help explain the modest rise in the consolidated fair value estimate for Linde.Seeking Alpha • May 05
Linde: A Great Business That's A Bit Too Expensive
Summary Linde (LIN) remains a best-in-class industrial with robust margins, 33 years of dividend growth, and disciplined capital allocation. Q1'26 results reinforced business resilience: 10% EPS growth, 30% margins, and $1.5B returned to shareholders, despite only 1% underlying volume growth. Secular tailwinds in electronics, aerospace, and helium offer long-term upside, but near-term volume recovery is not yet visible, especially in EMEA. At 28x forward earnings and 7–9% EPS growth, I rate LIN a Hold, preferring entry in the $420–$440 range for better margin of safety. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

The Linde Investment Case Is Continuing To Deliver
Summary Linde offers long-term investors a solid 10-12% return potential, backed by a 20% CAGR since 2017 and a 340% total return. The company's stability, geographical diversification, and crucial role in various industries make it a resilient and essential investment. Despite a forward PE ratio of 27, Linde's strong EPS growth, strategic location, and robust supply chain ensure continued profitability and shareholder returns. Risks include increasing long-term debt and geopolitical tensions, but Linde remains a strong buy for conservative portfolios seeking steady growth.

Linde: Oligopoly Leader, Further Profitability Increase Ahead
Summary Linde plc is the leader in the oligopolistic industrial gases market. The on-site nature of the business and a low distribution radius form a natural moat for companies operating in the industrial gases market. Purchase Accounting effect from the Linde AG / Praxair merger back in 2018 led to Linde reporting artificially low GAAP earnings. Linde's organic growth outlook, coupled with ongoing margin increases and economies of scale, should allow Linde to grow earnings at a rate of at least 8% annually. I would add to my position at around 27x Adjusted EPS, implying an entry price of $420 on FY24 earnings or $445 on FY25 earnings. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Feb 04
Linde: Looking For A Better Entry Point Despite Highly Attractive Fundamentals
Summary Following the $73 billion merger with Praxair completed at the end of October 2018, Linde is now the world's largest producer of industrial gases. The industrial gas industry is now highly consolidated, with the four largest players accounting for over 80% of worldwide sales. In retrospect, the merger between Linde and Praxair will likely be seen as the last step in the industry's consolidation process. I expect much of Linde's future growth to come from organic opportunities, specifically from the $10.1 billion project backlog. In my view, the inorganic growth vector has been largely exhausted. Linde's free cash flow yield of 2.3% is among the lowest in at least a decade. Even if EPS growth remains strong in the low teens, the valuation creates meaningful downside risks, hence my hold rating. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 11
Linde Keeps Its Momentum Alive
Summary Linde plc is a potential buy, showing steady growth with a 238% increase over 10 years, despite market fluctuations. The industrial gases market is projected to grow significantly, driven by clean energy, decarbonization, and expanding applications in healthcare and technology. Linde's strong financials, low volatility, and proactive management strategies position it well for future growth, despite risks like increased debt, economic vagaries, and a low dividend yield. Analysts are bullish on LIN, with 19 out of 28 recommending it as a buy or strong buy; we believe it sells at a fair price with positive growth potential.

Linde: Dragged Down By Slowdown In Asia And Europe
Summary Linde is a growing low-risk business capable of generating 30%+ returns on capital invested. Elevated inflation levels as of late enabled Linde to raise prices and helped boost earnings growth. The economic backdrop is less favourable currently and the stock could re-rate to a lower valuation multiple. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Oct 25
Linde: Too Pricey, Neutral Rated
Summary Q3 Wall Street analysts' expectations exceed the company's outlook. Any negative surprise might significantly impact Linde's valuation. Linde's investment backlog declined, and the company is also exposed to cyclical sectors. Compared to peers, Linde is expensive on EV/EBITDA and P/E basis. FCF yield is also lower than peers. We are now neutral. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Sep 11
Linde: TSMC Phoenix Facility Starting To Contribute Profits
Summary I reiterate a ‘Buy’ rating for Linde with a one-year target price of $520 per share, driven by double-digit EPS growth and effective cost management. Linde reported 3% growth in underlying revenue and 6% growth in adjusted operating profits, with strong pricing and productivity despite flattish volume growth. High-quality project backlog, including semiconductor manufacturing facilities and green energy initiatives, positions Linde for near-term business growth and profitability. Despite weak industrial production and growth challenges in China, Linde’s consistent capital allocation and cost pass-through model support sustained earnings growth.

Linde: A Quality Company But Valuation Looks A Little Bloated
Summary Linde is a high-quality defensive company with strong share price performance in recent years, mostly driven by margin expansion. Revenue growth has been limited and with the rising share prices, valuation is looking bloated. We would like to see organic growth before we re-rate this company. With its current high PE ratios, we initiate with a sell rating. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • May 20
Linde: A Deserved Valuation Premium, Margin Growth Persists
Summary Linde plc is the largest industrial gas company in the world, with strong sales and a wide range of industries it serves. Despite a slightly light Q1 report, Linde's management expects a significant increase in adjusted EPS for FY 2024 with continued strong margins. Analysts project steady EPS growth for Linde over the next few years, though sell side downgrades have come along with a pullback in shares since the end of the first quarter. I highlight key price levels to watch on the chart as the stock nears key support. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 10
Linde: Maintain Buy, Strong EPS Growth Indicated In FY24 From Pricing, Cost Management
Summary Linde's stock price has surged by over 25% since the presentation of a 'Buy' thesis, with strong revenue and profit growth reported. The company's pricing strategy and cost management initiatives have contributed to margin expansion and strong earnings growth expected in FY24. The projection of 8%-11% adjusted EPS growth, backed by a high-quality project backlog, pricing growth, and share repurchases, further supports the 'Buy' rating.

Linde Q3: Stellar Execution Despite Macro Weakness; $15 Billion Of New Buybacks Announced
Summary On October 26, 2023, Linde released Q3 results with sales missing street consensus and down 7% YoY due to diminishing cost pass-through effects and a weak macro environment. Adjusting for cost pass-through and FX effects, underlying sales were up 3% YoY, driven by pricing and favorable mix, leading to a 550bps operating margin expansion vs. Q3 2022. Performance in EMEA was particularly strong with 820bps YoY margin expansion, cutting down the legacy EMEA/APAC assets margin gap vs. Americas segment to 1.3%. Prior to the results management also announced a new $15 billion buyback program which, together with the remaining authorized $2 billion, could retire up to 9.4% of the total outstanding shares. I reiterate my Buy rating and update my DCF model to calculate a target price of $442 per share, up 6.5%. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Oct 07
Linde Should Definitely Be High On Your Watchlist
Summary Linde is a dividend aristocrat with a 30-year history of annual dividend increases.

However, the current valuation of the shares is high, making them overvalued, and there are risks to the investment thesis, including competition and higher interest rates.
