Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. is expanding its industrial gases business with plans to build a new air separation unit in Cocoa, Florida, while simultaneously facing a possible securities fraud investigation. As the company prepares to report its second-quarter fiscal 2026 results on April 30, analysts expect earnings to rise to $3.05 per share, driven by a projected 4.5% increase in revenues. Despite these challenges, Bank of America has raised its price target to $303, reflecting confidence in the company's growth prospects, bolstered by over $140 million in contracts secured with NASA for liquid hydrogen supply.
