Linde PLC (NASDAQ:LIN) saw its stock fall after issuing full-year 2026 guidance that missed analyst expectations, despite exceeding fourth-quarter earnings and revenue forecasts. The company reported strong Q4 underlying sales, cash flow, and segment growth, maintaining a record $10 billion project backlog. However, investor concern was driven by the 2026 adjusted EPS guidance falling below consensus, although Q1 2026 EPS guidance was in line.
