da una veloce occhiata mi sembrava interessante questa:
Linde XS0171231060 6,0% call 14/07/2013 poi euribor 3m + 3,375%
quota intorno ai 70
conoscete qualche lato negativo per evitarla? in caso contrario provo ad avventurarmi nel prospetto...
grazie

Mah: Linde si occupa di gas tecnici industriali e medicali. Evidentemente è sottoposta alla pressione che ne deriva dall' appartenenza al settore industriale "chemical" ... ovvero al presente fà un po' fatica ( la sezione che si occupa di gas leagti all' industria chimica ed industriali in generale) dovuto proprio alla scarsità di domanda al presente.."Linde AG said net profit fell 25% in 2008 and cautioned that demand has dropped, particularly in the final months of the year, amid the global economic crisis.
The Munich-based industrial-gases company reported full-year net profit of €717 million ($901.7 million), compared with €952 million in 2007, when results were boosted by gains from disposals. Sales rose 2.9% to €12.66 billion from €12.31 billion.
Linde engineers and builds chemical and gas plants and produces gases, including hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and argon, for the medical, industrial and scientific fields.
Linde didn't break out fourth-quarter earnings figures in its statement, nor did it give an outlook for the current year, but the company said it would provide more earnings information on March 16."
ma ritengo che sia una buona Azienda,che certamente sopravvivrà alla crisi...

Partecipa con la Norvegia al progetto Snoehvit (Ti rimando al proposito ad un post di febbraio sul report chimica) sebbene la sua presenza sia stata ampiamente criticata per via di una supposta mancanza di esperienza nei confronti di una concorrente norvegese...
Tieni presente che comunque si occupa anche di medical...
Quindi veniamo a quanto detto in data 16 marzo dal CEO:
German industrial gases and engineering company Linde AG's (LIN.XE) business development in January and February has been slightly below the previous year's level, Chief Executive Wolfgang Reitzle said Monday, but he added the sales decline so far isn't in the double-digit area.
Reitzle also said the company isn't abandoning its mid-term goals, but it can't currently say when they will be met.
Citing economic uncertainties, the Munich-based company said earlier in the day it won't be able to achieve its 2010 targets of a return on capital employed of 13%, and an operating profit of at least EUR3 billion at the set time. These goals will be reached at a later point, the company's 2008 report said." Inoltre: German Industrial gases and engineering company Linde AG (LIN.XE) Monday shelved its 2010 goals and declined to give a concrete outlook for 2009, saying it is facing "the most uncertain demand environment in decades".
Citing economic uncertainties, the Munich-based company said it won't be able to achieve its 2010 targets of a return on capital employed of 13%, and an operating profit of at least EUR3 billion at the set time. These goals will be reached at a later time, the company's 2008 report said.
The company also refrained from giving a concrete outlook for 2009, saying only that sales and earnings could be slightly above or below 2008 levels.
In order to remain on track amid the difficult economic climate, Linde said it will accelerate implementation of a program aimed at increasing productivity by cutting gross costs by between EUR650 million and EUR800 million over four years, starting in 2009.
"Even we aren't immune to the global recession," said Chief Executive Wolfgang Reitzle.
"It still looks possible from today's standpoint that group sales and earnings will be slightly higher than, or at the same level as, in 2008...however, we have to consider the possibility of a decline in sales and earnings," the CEO said.
Still, that positive scenario would require an improvement in business trends at least in the second half of 2009, the company said on its website.
Linde already reported preliminary data for the full year on March 3, when it said it has reached its twin 2008 targets of beating 2007 sales and having earnings growth outpace that of sales.
2008 sales rose 2.9% to EUR12.6 billion.
At around 0910 GMT, Linde shares traded 0.1% higher at EUR53.17, while the DAX traded up 1.9%. The stock has shed 39% of its value over the past 12 months.

PRESS RELEASE:
The Linde Group To Supply Gases To Masdar PV's Photovoltaic Plant In Erfurt
Munich, 30 March 2009 - The technology group The Linde Group has been
awarded a long-term contract to supply all the gases for
next-generation thin-film photovoltaic (PV) module production at
Masdar's manufacturing site in Erfurt, Germany. Under the turnkey
contract, Linde will provide a complete gas storage and distribution
system, as well as on-site gas management services. Linde will also
supply nitrogen (N2), hydrogen (H2), silane (SiH4) and chamber
cleaning gases, as well as argon (Ar) and helium (He).
Masdar PV is a fully-owned subsidiary of Masdar, Abu Dhabi's
multi-faceted future energy initiative, instigated from and
wholly-owned by the Mubadala Development Company. The company is
currently investing approximately 200 million US dollars (around 150
million euro) in the photovoltaic plant in Ichtershausen near Erfurt.
A further 400 million US dollars (300 million euro) is being invested
in the second plant in Taweelah near Abu Dhabi. Together, the two
plants will have a target annual production capacity of 210 MWp
(megawatt peak). The plants will produce 5.7 m?? PV modules, which
have an excellent cost-benefit ratio. Because they use the latest
tandem technology (a-Si/a-Si), these modules are up to 10 percent
more efficient than conventional a-Si (amorphous silicon) modules.
"Masdar's goal to become a world leader in renewable energy resonates
strongly with our own corporate philosophy. We look forward to acting
as Masdar's technology partner on this journey," said Dr Aldo
Belloni, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG. "This
collaboration reinforces Linde's commitment to the rapid development
of sustainable energy, not only in the field of PV, but also in
hydrogen, carbon capture & storage and biofuels."
"Linde has an outstanding reputation among PV manufacturers for the
development of gas technology," said Dr Rainer Gegenwart, CEO of
Masdar PV GmbH. "Our company deals exclusively with strong,
experienced partners with whom we can explore new areas such as the
enhancement of environmental protection. Therefore, Linde is a key
partner for us in this project."
Linde has established a leading position in gases supply to thin-film
silicon solar module manufacturers, in key markets including Germany,
Spain, Italy, China, Taiwan and India. To date, Linde has partnered
customers on projects with a target capacity of more than 1GWp
(gigawatt peak).

Un po' come tutti ci si butta nel "verde" ...
E per ultimo, sempre nel Report chimica trovi l' accordo con Sinopec (Cina..)
Ciao ed abbi una Buona serata, Carlo.
A Merck Finck analyst, who rates Linde shares at buy, sees the company's comments on 2009 as "prudent and positive", saying it is in line with its most recent estimates of a 2% decline in sales and a 7% drop in operating profit.
Another analyst viewed the company's outlook in a more negative light, though, noting that French peer Air Liquide (AI.FR) "at least said it'll try to match previous years' levels", while Linde doesn't rule out a decline in sales and earnings.
Ciao.
