Linde plc (LIN) DCF Valuation
Transparent DCF models put Linde plc (LIN)'s fair value in a range of $140.63 – $544.97 — the low end is TGM's conservative base case (5% FCF growth, 10% discount), the high end the analyst consensus (FMP). Today's price of $515.59 sits within that range — roughly fairly valued on these assumptions.
