Linde (LIN) Gears Up for Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Linde plc (LIN - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2022 results on Jul 28, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, Linde’s earnings of $2.93 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.78, owing to increased prices and volumes from electronics, energy and chemicals end markets.
The leading global industrial gases and engineering company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the prior four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 4.1%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its second-quarter earnings per share of $2.98 has witnessed no revisions in the past seven days. The estimated figure suggests an improvement of 10.4% from the prior-year reported number.
The consensus estimate for second-quarter revenues of $8.4 billion indicates a 10.5% improvement from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
Industrial production in the United States increased for the June quarter of 2022 compared to the year-ago quarter. This was driven by economic reopening, thanks to the rollout of coronavirus vaccines on a larger scale. Since Linde produces industrial gases used across numerous industries, the company is likely to have generated revenues from its Americas business unit. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its second-quarter 2022 sales from the Americas unit is pegged at $3,372 million, suggesting an increase from $3,020 million in the second quarter of 2021.
