Frequently asked questions
What is Linde plc Ordinary Shares's revenue?
Linde plc Ordinary Shares's trailing twelve-month revenue is $34.65B, and consensus projects about $44.15B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is LIN?
In its most recent fiscal year, LIN ran a gross margin of 43.33%, an operating margin of 26.29%, and a net margin of 20.30%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does LIN generate?
LIN produced $5.09B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is LIN's balance sheet healthy?
LIN holds $5.06B in cash and equivalents against $20.68B in long-term debt, on $38.24B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
