Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts expect Linde (LIN - Free Report) to post quarterly earnings of $3.89 per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year increase of 7.2%. Revenues are expected to be $8.38 billion, up 2.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Prior to a company's earnings announcement, it is crucial to consider revisions to earnings estimates. This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to gauge how the business may have fared during the quarter, examining analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics often helps gain a deeper insight.
That said, let's delve into the average estimates of some Linde metrics that Wall Street analysts commonly model and monitor.
