Analysis summary
Technical asset picture
Linde plc (LIN) currently has a total score of 78 points, placing it in the strong range. The score is made up of Performance (70), Stability (92) and Trend (77). All three sub-scores are currently above average.
Performance scores 70 points (strong). Key strength: 10Y return at 349.8 %. Main drag: 1Y return at 7.6 %. This suggests stronger long-term than short-term performance.
Stability scores 92 points (very strong). Best-ranked metric: current drawdown at -1.1 %. Main drag: return/volatility ratio at 0.38. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 77 points (strong). Key strength: trend strength at 0.95. Main drag: 12M momentum at 6.9 %.
Overall, the score is shaped most by Stability; Performance trails and dampens the total. On a metric level, trend strength stands out, while 12M momentum is the main weak spot.
