Summary
LINDE PLC saw an impressive 29.1% year-over-year increase in revenue for their fourth quarter of FY2022, reaching USD 1.3 billion, but this was offset by a 4.8% year-over-year decrease in net income, which reached USD 7.9 billion. Although revenue was higher, it didn’t translate into profitability due to higher operating costs. Investors should assess the additional costs associated with the revenue growth and the impact it will have on future earnings. This suggests that potential investors may have to look at other metrics when evaluating LINDE PLC as an investment.
