This follows a period where Linde cemented its dominant role in the global industrial gases market, achieving a record-high order book of $10 billion and a notable return of $7.4 billion to shareholders in 2025. The company's strategic market positioning was further reinforced by a collaboration with Air Products, establishing an oligopoly in the helium market, which is set to meet rising demand and enhance investor confidence.
