Why is Linde Down Today?

Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) shares have edged lower following a series of updates on earnings forecasts, insider moves and regional trading performance.

  • Earnings Estimate Revisions: Seaport Research Partners trimmed its Q2 2025 EPS forecast for Linde to $4.03 (from $4.13), citing softer fundamentals. The firm also nudged down its full-year 2025 outlook to $16.42 and projected Q3 EPS of $4.22.
  • Insider Sale: Vice President David P. Strauss sold 1,987 shares at an average of $457.04, reducing his holding by roughly 8.1%. While not uncommon, insider sales can create near-term caution.
  • Regional Pressure – Linde India: Shares of Linde India slid about 2.2% in local trading, reflecting tepid demand in the Asian market and weighing on the group’s growth outlook.
  • Institutional Positioning: SailingStone Capital Partners boosted its stake in Linde by 6.3% during Q4, signaling confidence in the longer-term story, even as Scientech Research trimmed its holding by 35%.

Overall, the downward adjustment to earnings forecasts, combined with insider selling and regional softness, has offset positive signals from select institutional buyers, leading to slight weakness in LIN stock today.
