Oct 31 (Reuters) - Linde , the world's largest industrial gases company, on Thursday reported third-quarter earnings above market expectations, citing higher pricing and continued productivity initiatives across its segments.
The U.S.-German company, which supplies gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to factories and hospitals, reported a 9% rise in its adjusted earnings per share to $3.94 in the July-September quarter.
That came ahead of analysts' mean estimate of $3.89 per share in an LSEG poll.
