Revenue growth sets the earnings baseline

Linde generated USD 9.29 billion revenue in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 9.30 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to Yahoo Finance. Diluted earnings per share rose 11.30 percent to USD 4.15, while adjusted earnings per share reached USD 4.50 against USD 4.49 consensus.

The same report said electronics sales grew 18.00 percent in the second quarter and that Linde's contracted sale-of-gas backlog reached USD 8.10 billion. The figures give the analyst target a measurable operating backdrop, but the valuation still depends on continued growth in electronics and other higher-value applications.
