The longer record shows steady EPS growth on fairly flat sales. Annual EPS climbed from $12.29 in 2022 to $14.21 in 2023, $15.51 in 2024 and $16.45 in 2025, a gain of about 34% over three years. Revenue stayed between $32.9 billion and $34.0 billion a year over the same period. The first half of 2026 adds up to $8.83 per share, about 10% more than the first half of 2025. Q2 2026 set the highs in the table for both EPS and revenue. Linde beat the EPS estimate in all 20 quarters shown, though the margins have narrowed. Every beat since Q1 2024 was 2.02% or less.
Linde reported Q3 between October 26 and October 31 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the run of record quarters continues into the second half.
