Air Products And Chemicals: De-Risking Moves Support A Re-Rating
Despite a flat EPS, underlying performance held up, and guidance for 2026 exceeded expectations, helped by cost discipline and a healthier earnings trajectory.

With EPS growth poised to accelerate (+7–9% in FY26) and CAPEX trending lower, we remain buyers.
