Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from LIN's reported EPS growth of 7.6% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $21.34
- Implied price
- $618.82
- Return from $479.48
- 5.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $307.66 — -35.8% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 21 | 25 | 29 | 33 | 37 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.4% | -10.5% | -7.3% | -4.5% | -2.0% | 0.2% |
| 2.6% | -5.9% | -2.6% | 0.3% | 3.0% | 5.4% |
| 7.6% | -1.3% | 2.2% | 5.2% | 8.0% | 10.5% |
| 12.6% | 3.2% | 6.9% | 10.1% | 13.0% | 15.6% |
| 17.6% | 7.8% | 11.7% | 15.0% | 18.0% | 20.8% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Linde Has Quietly Compounded for Years. These 3 Stocks Share Its Stickiest Advantage Some companies grow quietly because their customers physically cannot leave them, and four stocks have turned that structural trap into decades of compounding returns most investors overlook entirely.

Linde: Strong Execution, But Peer Momentum And Higher CapEx Limit The Upside Q2 remained solid, but operating margin declined 60 basis points despite stronger pricing and volumes. The $8.1 billion backlog supports earnings visibility, although electronics growth is increasingly a sector-wide tailwind rather than a Linde-specific catalyst. Higher CAPEX and delayed project contributions temper the outlook, while APD and Air Liquide currently offer stronger margin-improvement stories.

94 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
