Oct 31 (Reuters) - Linde  LIN.O , the world's largest
industrial gases company, on Thursday reported third-quarter
earnings above market expectations, citing higher pricing and
continued productivity initiatives across its segments.
    The U.S.-German company, which supplies gases such as
oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to factories and hospitals,
reported a 9% rise in its adjusted earnings per share to $3.94
in the July-September quarter.
    That came ahead of analysts' mean estimate of $3.89 per
share in an LSEG poll.
