Linde Dividend Update & Key News: Everything You Need to Know Before Sep 4, 2025 Ex-Dividend Date

Linde (LIN) has announced its upcoming cash dividend of $1.50 per share, with an ex-dividend date set for Sep 4, 2025. The dividend was declared on Jul 29, 2025, and is expected to be paid on Sep 18, 2025. This payment represents a slight increase compared to the average of the last ten dividends, which stood at $1.405 per share. The company’s last dividend was also $1.50 per share, issued on Jun 18, 2025, and was also a cash dividend. Investors should be aware that Sep 4, 2025 is the final day to purchase shares in order to be eligible for the dividend—any purchase after this date will not qualify for the payout.

Over the past week, several key developments have shaped Linde’s market outlook. Recently, WPG Advisers LLC made a new stake acquisition in Linde, signaling renewed institutional interest in the company. In related insider activity, Stephen F. Angel, a director at Linde, sold 50,309 shares on Aug 7th, 2025, drawing attention to potential shifts in leadership sentiment. Additionally, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company reduced its holding in the firm by 19.3% during the first quarter, raising questions about the confidence of major institutional investors.

As of late, Linde has also announced a $400 million investment in Louisiana to support a low-carbon ammonia project, a strategic move aligned with the global energy transition. The company reported its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug 1st, 2025, though the details have yet to be fully disclosed. Analysts noted that the stock has shown strong fundamentals, with a high EBIT margin of 97.31% and efficient cash utilization. However, technical indicators like the Williams %R have recently signaled overbought conditions, suggesting caution for new entrants.

Since the last update, Linde’s stock experienced a 0.80% decline on Aug 29th, 2025, with a trading volume of $930 million. This marks a 25.17% drop compared to the previous day, highlighting a period of mixed investor sentiment. Institutional inflows remain robust, with a 63.99% block investor inflow ratio, but bearish technical signals continue to dominate. With the industrial gas sector facing evolving regulatory and policy shifts, particularly in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific regions, Linde’s strategic positioning and capital investments will be key factors to watch in the coming months.

Linde remains in a complex position, balancing strong fundamentals with bearish technical indicators. Investors are advised to monitor the Williams %R readings and consider waiting for a pullback before entering new positions. With the ex-dividend date of Sep 4, 2025 fast approaching, those looking to participate in the dividend should ensure their ownership is finalized prior to this date to avoid missing out.
