6 month growth
↑ 5%1 year growth
↑ 5%2 year growth
↑ 6%By Svea Herbst-Bayliss NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Activist investor Elliott Investment Management has built a stake in Paris-based Air Liquide and is urging the French multinational company to improve its margins, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Air Liquide invests over 170M USD in the U.S. to support SK hynix’s ambition to build a global AI memory ecosystem
Air Liquide's fair value estimate has shifted from €196.58 to €198.15, moving closer to external analyst targets clustered around €206 to €207. Recent analyst activity, including raised price targets from Citi (to €207 from €195) and Berenberg (to €206 from €202), alongside upgrades from Kepler Cheuvreux and Morgan Stanley, reflects growing confidence in the company's revenue and cash flow potential. The company recently announced significant investments, including over $350 million for oxygen and nitrogen supply to HYUNDAI-POSCO Louisiana's facility, €200 million for industrial gas units in Hiroshima, and completion of an Advanced Materials plant in Taiwan. An upcoming Analyst and Investor Day is expected to provide further details on medium-term priorities and capital allocation.
Air Liquide has launched its first green bond issue, raising €500 million to finance and refinance sustainable projects including hydrogen development. The 10-year bond was issued at a yield of 0.461% under the group's Euro Medium Term Note programme. Proceeds will refinance Air Liquide's September 2021 bond maturities and support the company's long-term growth. The issuance follows ambitious sustainable projects announced in March, particularly focused on reducing CO2 emissions. Fabienne Lecorvaisier, Executive Vice-President of Finance and Operations, said the transaction demonstrates investor confidence in Air Liquide's sustainability commitments. The company plans to become a regular issuer of sustainable bonds, integrating ESG considerations with economic and financial performance in its growth strategy.
Air Liquide, Europe's largest industrial gas maker, has opened its first chip materials plant in Taiwan on Wednesday. The facility is part of the company's investment exceeding $1 billion in Taiwan to support growing demand for AI chip production. The plant will supply materials to Taiwan's semiconductor industry, which is experiencing increased demand driven by artificial intelligence applications.
