Robert L Wood, a Director at Linde PLC (LIN), executed 2 separate sales totaling 5,215 shares for $2,642,909.45 across two days — 880 shares at $508.76 on 2026-05-14 and 4,335 shares at $506.39 on 2026-05-15 — at a blended average price of $506.79, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 9,248 shares from a pre-transaction level of 14,463 shares, a -36.1% reduction. The stock is currently trading at $510.97, near its 52-week high of $521.28, with a 30-day change of +3.8% and a 90-day change of +6.0%, meaning the sales occurred close to recent price peaks. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% 90d well-timed rate on prior sells, and his single prior sale at LIN on 2025-02-10 produced a 90-day return of -0.8%, consistent with that pattern. Linde reported latest-quarter revenue of $8,781,000,000.00 and net income of $1,857,000,000.00, with a P/E of 33.37 and annual revenue growth of +3.0%, providing fundamental context for the current price level near the 52-week high.

Exec VP & Chief Legal Officer Bichara Guillermo sold 4,357 shares of LIN at $480.79 on 2026-03-10 for $2.1M, reducing holdings 16.4%.

Bichara Guillermo sold 4,357 shares at $480.79, reducing his LIN holdings from 26,494 to 22,137 shares. The transaction occurred near the 52-week high (currently $490.41, -3.7% from the $509.34 peak), suggesting proximity to elevated valuation levels. His same-ticker history shows mixed execution: of 4 prior measurable LIN sales, only 1 was well-timed at the 90-day mark, and the most recent comparable sale (2025-03-11) saw a 90d return of +2.3%, indicating the stock subsequently rose after that prior sale. Cross-ticker, his 6 prior sells averaged a 90d well-timed rate of 20.00%, materially below the success rate needed to identify a clear pattern of selling at local peaks.

COO Durbin sells 6,520 LIN shares for $3.1M at $477.27 avg; stock now $490.41. Post-transaction holdings drop to 8,150 shares (-44.4%).

Durbin, EVP and Chief Operating Officer, executed two separate sales totaling 6,520 shares for $3,111,829.38 on 2026-03-10, reducing his holdings by 44.4% from 14,670 to 8,150 shares. The blended average sale price of $477.27 sits 2.7% below the current price of $490.41, placing the transaction near recent resistance; the stock trades at -3.7% from its 52-week high of $509.34. His prior sales at Linde have yielded mixed outcomes: two of four prior trades showed positive 90-day returns (+5.7% and +5.6% in May 2025), while two showed negative returns (-0.6% in August 2024 and -7.6% in March 2024), indicating a 50% well-timed rate at this ticker. The fundamental backdrop shows a mature large-cap (market cap $227.3B, P/E 30.59, annual revenue growth +3.0%) trading with valuation momentum: 30-day price momentum is +6.5% and 90-day is +17.8%. This large open-market disposition by a top executive warrants monitoring for subsequent price action.

Patwari (SVP-APAC) sold 999 LIN shares at $502.76 for $502.3K, reducing holdings 18.7%

Binod Patwari, Senior Vice President of APAC, sold 999 shares at $502.76 on 2026-02-24, reducing his holding from 5.3K to 4.3K shares (an 18.7% reduction). The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $508.27, with the stock currently trading at $498.51 after a strong 30-day (+10.0%) and 90-day (+21.5%) run. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with an average 90-day return of +0.6%, and his same-ticker history at LIN (from a prior sale on 2025-02-18) posted a 90-day return of +0.6%, meaning prior sells occurred before the stock continued rising—not a pattern of well-timed exits. The $502.3K transaction represents a modest reduction in absolute position, though the percentage reduction is material.

Bichara Guillermo (Exec VP & Chief Legal Officer) sold 9,455 shares of LIN at $480.45 on 2026-02-17 for $4,542,654.75.

Bichara Guillermo sold 9,455 shares of LINDE PLC, reducing his holdings by 29.9% (from 31,592 to 22,137 shares). The sale occurred at $480.45, just 0.0% below the 52-week high of $485.28, indicating the stock was near peak valuation at the time of the transaction. Across his prior five sales at LINDE, he achieved a 20.0% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (1 of 5 prior sells), with mixed immediate-term outcomes (30-day returns averaged -5.7% across his broader cross-ticker track record). With LINDE's P/E at 31.95 and annual revenue growth at +0.5%, the timing context suggests a sale near elevated valuation in a low-growth environment, though the sale size relative to remaining holdings is material.

Lamba Sanjiv (CEO) bought 2,520 shares of Linde at $396.68 on 2025-12-08; stock now down 19.5% from 52-week high.

CEO Lamba Sanjiv purchased 2,520 shares at $396.68, increasing his holdings to 90,794 shares (+2.9%). The transaction occurred when Linde's stock was trading 19.5% below its 52-week high and down 7.4% over 30 days, suggesting the CEO acted during a period of price weakness. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed sell rate, though this was based on 1 prior sale; at Linde specifically, he has only 1 prior trade (a 2024 sale). The fundamental picture remains solid with $8.6B quarterly revenue and $1.9B net income, though annual revenue growth is modest at +0.5%. This buy adds to his existing position but does not establish a clear directional signal given limited same-ticker precedent and the compressed timeframe since the transaction.

Director Stephen F Angel sold 50,309 shares of LIN at $473.38 for $23.8M, reducing holdings by 9.5%.

Director Stephen F Angel sold 50,309 shares of Linde PLC (LIN) at $473.38 on 2025-08-07, a discretionary open-market transaction totaling $23,815,274.42. His post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 480,542 shares. Examining his same-ticker history at LIN shows a mixed record: of 3 prior sells, 2 of 3 were followed by negative 90-day returns (well-timed at the 90-day mark). His cross-ticker track record demonstrates a 66.67% well-timed rate across 3 prior sells. The current stock price of $472.42 is -2.9% from the 52-week high of $486.45, positioned in the upper range of the 52-week band. While the sale represents a significant dollar amount, the retention of a 480.5K-share position alongside a historical pattern of moderately accurate sell timing provides limited directional conviction either way.

Durbin (EVP, North America) sells 7,261 shares at $456.42 avg; prior trades at LIN 100% well-timed at 90-day mark

Sean Durbin executed two separate sales totaling 7,261 shares (7.3K shares) for $3,314,272.01 ($3.3M), reducing his holdings at LIN by 47.1% from 15,412 to 8,150 shares. The blended average transaction price was $456.42, and the stock currently trades at $467.95, indicating the sales occurred slightly below recent market levels. His prior two sales at LIN both exhibited negative 90-day returns (-0.6% and -7.6%), establishing a 100% well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark at this ticker. Against a backdrop of slowing fundamental growth (annual revenue growth +0.5%) and elevated valuation (P/E 33.35), the timing of this large disposal aligns with his established pattern of selling before subsequent declines at LIN, though current price action (+4.4% over 30 days) does not yet reflect a post-sale decline.

Bichara Guillermo sold 4,833 shares of LIN at $461.65 on 2025-03-11 for $2.2M, reducing stake by 17.5%

Bichara Guillermo, Exec VP & Chief Legal Officer, sold 4,833 shares at $461.65, a material disposal of 17.5% of his pre-transaction holdings, leaving 22,777 shares. The current price of $451.17 is 7.2% below the 52-week high, suggesting the executive sold above recent market levels. His prior trades at LIN show mixed timing: 1 of 4 previous sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent December 2024 sale delivering a -10.2% 30-day return before reversing to +0.1% at 90 days. The cross-ticker track record shows a 25% well-timed sell rate at the 90-day mark, indicating modest predictive accuracy. This sale does not represent a complete exit but warrants attention given the substantial reduction and the company's modest growth profile (annual revenue growth of +0.5% with a P/E of 31.62).

Strauss (Chief HR Officer) sold 2,477 shares of LIN at $469.74 on 2025-03-03, reducing holdings by 65.6% to 1.3K shares.

Strauss sold 2,477 shares (2.5K shares) of LINDE PLC at $469.74, reducing his holdings from 3,776 to 1,299 shares—a substantial 65.6% reduction in position size. The sale occurred at a price just 3.9% below the 52-week high of $486.45, and the stock has declined 5.2% since the transaction. His same-ticker history shows 2 prior sells at LIN with 90-day returns of -6.6% and -6.7%, indicating a timing pattern of selling ahead of subsequent declines; however, the current post-transaction window (30-day: -0.3%, 90-day pending) does not yet confirm a similar outcome this time. The reduction in absolute holdings is material relative to his prior position.
