- LIN +0.59%
Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) ranks among the best slow growth stocks to invest in. On November 19, UBS reaffirmed its Buy rating on Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) with a $500 price target, citing estimates that the company’s adjusted earnings per share could return to growth rates greater than 10% over the next year.
UBS predicts adjusted EPS growth will increase from 6% in 2025 to “~9-10% Y/Y” in 2026, with potential for additional growth from new project launches. The firm believes that this growth will take place as Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) overcomes existing headwinds, such as reduced base volumes year-over-year and falling helium and rare gas prices. UBS projects that once these issues ease, Linde’s stock multiple will return to its usual levels.
In a previous note dated November 11, analyst Joshua Spector stated that the shares have a “2.5x up/downside skew” and that an acceleration in earnings per share growth in 2026 should be a significant trigger for the company.
Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) is a global engineering and industrial gases company that generates and delivers process gases, including carbon dioxide and hydrogen, as well as related equipment and technologies.
