Air Liquide announces €4 billion share buybacks and medium-term targets

Air Liquide will for the first time repurchase shares worth €4 billion over the next two years.

The group targets mid-term revenue growth of around 5% per year and an operating margin improvement of 4–6 percentage points at constant energy prices. Over €40 billion of investments are planned by 2030, with more than half to be allocated to higher investment and acquisitions and the remainder to buybacks and rising dividends. » More on finanzen.net

CEO François Jackow confirms targets to raise margins for 2026 and 2027; management is already delivering efficiency measures, but more slowly than the activist demands. » More on deraktionaer.de
