Read MoreHide Full Article
Linde (LIN - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2023 results on Oct 26, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, Linde’s earnings of $3.57 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.47, owing to higher pricing from the Americas segment.
The leading global industrial gases and engineering company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 6.6%. This is depicted in the graph below.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of $3.57 has witnessed one upward and three downward revisions in the past 30 days. The figure suggests an improvement of 15.2% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
The consensus estimate for third-quarter revenues of $8.7 billion indicates a year-over-year decline of 1.6%.
Factors to Note
Industrial production in the United States increased marginally year over year in all the three months of the third quarter. Since Linde produces industrial gases used across numerous industries, it is likely to have generated higher profit from its Americas business unit, contributing a major portion to LIN’s earnings.
