Linde stock gains 1.03 percent as UBS holds USD 612 target

Linde stock was trading at USD 469.72 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.03 percent for the session. The share price remains 14.31 percent below its 52-week high of USD 548.20, giving the latest move a clear recovery context.

UBS keeps a USD 612 target

As FinanzNachrichten.de reported on September 23, 2026, UBS maintained its Buy rating and a USD 612 price target. That target stands USD 142.28 above the September 23 Nasdaq price, a 30.29 percent difference that leaves the analyst view materially above the market quotation.

UBS also expects Linde to defend its goal of 10 percent earnings growth without help from the economic cycle at an upcoming investor event in Arizona. For investors, that makes the next growth signal more important than the single-day price gain.

Revenue beats the quarterly estimate

MarketBeat reported that Linde generated USD 9.29 billion in revenue in its latest reported quarter, 9.3 percent above the prior-year level and above the USD 9.02 billion analyst estimate. Quarterly EPS reached USD 4.50, compared with a USD 4.49 consensus estimate.

The same report puts fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 17.70 to USD 17.90 and Q3 guidance at USD 4.45 to USD 4.55. The range matters because it sets a measurable test for whether the company can maintain its earnings-growth objective.

Linde stock stays below its yearly high

Linde stock combines a USD 217.29 billion market capitalization with a USD 387.78 to USD 548.20 52-week range as of September 23, 2026. The price is closer to the middle of that range than to the upper boundary, while the latest 1.03 percent gain places the session move above the threshold for a meaningful daily change.
