In its second-quarter statement, Linde forecast adjusted diluted earnings per share for 2026 of $17.70 to $17.90, an increase of 8% to 9% year over year. The company’s third-quarter guidance put adjusted diluted earnings per share at $4.45 to $4.55, with expected growth of 6% to 8% from the same period a year earlier.
