Bears Say
European Industrial OutagesExtended industrial outages in Europe may keep volumes flat or down in that region, creating localized revenue headwinds.

LIN Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented several strong positives — record full-year financials (EPS, operating cash flow, margins), an industry-leading 24.2% ROC, a record $10 billion backlog, meaningful sustainability progress (low-carbon power +23% and ~2M tCO2 avoided), robust capital return ($7B+), and commercial wins (90+ application wins and space launch positioning). Offsetting this were persistent headwinds in traditional industrial end markets, regional softness in EMEA and parts of APAC, helium/rare gas headwinds (~1–2% EPS drag), increased capital intensity pressuring ROC in the near term, and a conservative 2026 EPS guide with restructuring charges booked in Q4. Overall, the positives (record results, backlog, cash generation, sustainability and disciplined capital allocation) modestly outweigh the negatives, though management remains appropriately cautious on macro and timing risk.View all LIN earnings summariesLIN Sales Breakdown
