Three events shape the stock

On July 30, 2026, Air Products reported quarterly earnings per share of USD 3.47 against USD 3.34 consensus, while revenue reached USD 3.16 billion and rose 4.60 percent year over year, according to MarketBeat.

What does the target cut change?

The new UBS target is 8.82 percent above the USD 280.27 APD quote at 10:14 a.m. ET on October 9, 2026. That comparison uses the US listing rather than the euro reference price, so the two figures are not combined into one trading move.

The next dated corporate payment is a quarterly dividend of USD 1.81 per share on November 9, 2026, as reported by MarketBeat.
