Air Products and Chemicals has been seeing increased activity recently, both internally and through mergers and acquisitions. Honeywell has purchased the company's Liquefied Natural Gas business for $1.81 billion, marking a significant step in the continued expansion of Honeywell. Simultaneously,
Air Products is also expanding its reach in the green energy sector through a partnership with TotalEnergies, aimed at producing hydrogen. The market is reacting positively, with a new price target set at $305.00 by Citigroup and the share volume steadily increasing. The company is also seen as a great dividend stock, underpinned by a robust financial performance despite economic headwinds. However, there's concern about recent long-term losses amounting to US$2.1b. Questions loom over the potential threat or opportunity the hydrogen sector presents to the company.
Air Products is also investing heavily in its infrastructure, including new refueling stations in California. Notwithstanding missing some earnings estimates, the company shows a commitment to ongoing improvements and advances in their operations. Therefore, it presents an interesting prospect for investors who see its potential as a leading player in the energy transition.
