Feb 6 (Reuters) - Linde LIN.O , the world's largest
industrial gases company, reported fourth quarter earnings above
market expectations on Thursday.
The U.S.-German company, which supplies gases such as
oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to factories and hospitals,
reported an 11% rise in its adjusted earnings per share to $3.97
in the final quarter of 2024.
That came ahead of analysts' mean estimate of $3.93 per
share in an LSEG poll.
