Feb 5 (Reuters) - Linde LIN.O, the world's largest industrial gases company, reported fourth-quarter results above market expectations on Thursday, 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 6% rise in its adjusted earnings per share to $4.20 in the October-December period.

That was ahead of analysts' mean estimate of $4.18 per share, according to LSEG data.
