Linde Surpasses Q1 Earnings on Higher Americas Pricing
Linde plc LIN reported first-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.95, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.93.

However, the top line increased from the year-ago quarter's level of $8,100 million. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.) The strong quarterly earnings were primarily driven by higher pricing and a rise in volumes from the Americas segment. The positives were partially offset by lower contributions from the EMEA segment, which was affected by lower volumes in the metals & mining and chemicals & energy end markets. Linde PLC price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Linde PLC Quote The operating profit of Linde's Americas segment increased 4.5% from $1,088 million in the prior-year quarter to $1,137 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same was pinned at $1,160 million.

Linde's profit in the EMEA segment increased by approximately 5.1% year over year to $722 million. Additionally, profit from this segment beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $709 million. The growth was aided by higher pricing, partially affected by lower volumes in the metals & mining and chemicals & energy end markets. The APAC segment's profit increased from $447 million a year ago to $451 million, which met the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The growth was supported by stable pricing in the segment. Operating profit in the Engineering segment increased to $114 million from the prior-year quarter's $100 million. The reported figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $96 million.

We are trimming our position in an industrial stock — and pocketing a 50% gain
We are selling 30 shares of Linde at roughly $450. Following the trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 150 shares of LIN, decreasing its weighting to 2.15% from about 2.55%. Linde shares have been resilient throughout the market turmoil and have maintained gains for the year, even as the S & P 500 is down more than 7%. But we are locking in profits Thursday after learning of a delay in a major clean hydrogen project. Dow Inc said Thursday is has delayed construction of a major chemicals project called Path2Zero in Fort Saskatchewan, Canada, until market conditions improve. Linde said last August will invest more than $2 billion to build and operate a integrated clean hydrogen and atmospheric gases facility at the site. This was Linde's largest single investment and its second new world-scale clean hydrogen project. The Path2Zero project wasn't expected to be completed until 2028, so this update should not materially impact Linde's earnings for the next few years. The industrial gas giant reports earnings next Thursday before the opening bell, and it is riding a 24-quarter streak of exceeding consensus expectations. Despite the company's track record of under promising and overdelivering, we are prudently taking some profits just in case we start to see other projects get delayed in this tarrif driven, uncertain microenvironment. From this sale, we will realize a gain of about 50% on stock purchased in September 2021 and February 2022. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long LIN. See here for a full list of the stocks.)

LIN MCU with Touch Sense Technology for Automotive Applications
Integrated command and control with Gen 3 Touch Controller featuring Shield enable simplified and cost-effective LIN Subsystem's Connectivity LIN MCU with Touch Sense Technology for Automotive Applications MILPITAS, Calif., March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumissil Microsystems expanded its automotive MCU portfolio with the introduction of the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 family of AEC-Q100 general purpose 8-bit MCU featuring an integrated LIN Controller and Physical Layer and Gen 3 touch key controller. For flexibility, the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 integrate 64KB ECC (Error Correction Code) flash memory that can be used to customize GPIO pins and features up to 20 Gen 3 touch sensors with auto wake and sleep modes. The IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 also feature onboard touch sensors that are reconfigurable from self-capacitance to mutual-capacitance mode. In mutual-capacitance mode, Shield is offered as a feature which provides dust and water immunity and offers proximity detection. Further, the integrated LIN protocol handler is compliant with SAE J2602 LIN 2.0A, LIN 2.1A and LIN 2.2A standards, ensuring seamless communication and interoperability with electrical sub-systems within vehicle's LIN networks. To support this claim, Lumissil submitted an MCU with LIN stack to iHR Automotive®, a third-party LIN test house for LIN 2.2 OSI Layer 2 data link layer certification. LIN conformity ensures that a LIN master can transmit 19.2kbps LDF (LIN Definition Frames) to the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 and makes certain that the devices process LDF commands as a protocol handler. To address EMI concerns, the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 incorporate oscillators with spread-spectrum modulation which effectively disperses energy at the operating frequency thereby reducing EMI-related radiated noise. To further ease the design, the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 were designed to utilize an easy-to-use software calibration GUI which eliminates touch calibration issues and are designed around VS Code, a popular off-the-shelf IDE. The new IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 MCU's enable command-control GPIO applications while simultaneously processing touch key functions. 'Automotive engineers can achieve LIN command-control operation while processing touch sensor operations with the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978,' said Ven Shan, VP of Lumissil Marketing. 'Both the IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 will facilitate the development of complex MCU applications by providing LIN command-control initiated by user interaction.' The IS32CS8976 and IS32CS8978 feature a built-in LIN Physical Layer LDO capable of 100mA and are available in 3.3V or 5V options. For cost sensitive applications, the IS32CS8976 is available in a TSSOP-24 package offering 16kB flash ECC and 10 GPIO pins while the IS32CS8978 is available in a compact wettable flank WQFN-40 package and features large 64kB flash ECC and 20 GPIO pins. Both devices are RoHS compliant and Pb-Free available with a 2,500 unit per reel MOQ.
