Bernstein maintains an outperform rating on
Linde plc (LIN), whose EPS has beaten expectations for 28 straight quarters. Investors are reacting positively to Linde's margin resilience and operational efficiency. Numerous investment advisors and banks, such as
Fort Washington Investment Advisors Inc., Corundum Group Inc., and JPMorgan are buying Linde shares, while others, such as
Groupama Asset Management and
GAMMA Investing LLC, have divested. The recent valuation scrutiny by Wall Street prompted analysts at
Mizuho and JPMorgan to turn bullish on the company, citing improved demand and pricing strength. Notably, Linde's stock price crossed the two hundred-day moving average mark twice, prompting a debate whether it's time to sell or buy. Major investment firms like
Nordea, UBS, and BMO Capital are generally bullish on LIN, predicting significant growth over the years. UBS reaffirms by issuing a buy at $500 for LIN, seeing a probable 10%+ EPS growth. However,
Jim Cramer's critique and some media scrutiny has led to a reassessment of LIN's valuation. Conversely,
Linde's strong EPS growth forecasted for 2026 continues to support UBS's bullish stance. Lastly, there's a consensus among super-investors that LIN is a stock to buy. Despite this, many are rolling back their investments in Linde, with some firms like
Capital International Investors and Capital Wealth Planning LLC raising their stock holdings, while others like
Fayez Sarofim & Co and Chevy Chase Trust Holdings LLC reducing theirs.
