Linde Stock Surges 1.85% with 10.30 Billion Shares Traded Ranking 82nd in Market Activity

On May 15, 2025, Linde (LIN) experienced a 1.85% increase in its stock price, with a trading volume of 10.30 billion, ranking 82nd in the day's market activity.

Linde's steady performance in the first quarter of 2025 is attributed to its strategic growth initiatives and a robust backlog of $10 billion. The company reported a net income of $1.673 billion and diluted earnings per share of $3.51, marking a 3% and 5% increase respectively. This consistent growth is supported by Linde's contractual pricing strategies, which help offset potential inflation impacts.

Linde's expansion of industrial gas supply to Samsung in South Korea further solidifies its market position. This strategic move is expected to enhance Linde's revenue streams and strengthen its presence in the semiconductor industry. Additionally, Linde's declaration of a $1.50 dividend per share for the second quarter of 2025 underscores its commitment to shareholder value.

Linde's recognition as one of Ethisphere’s 2025 World's Most Ethical Companies for the fifth consecutive year highlights its dedication to ethical business practices. This accolade, combined with its inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, reinforces Linde's leadership in sustainability and corporate responsibility.
