What the numbers say

Linde plc is a industrial gases name in the materials sector. Over the past year it returned +1.9%, against -4.6% over three months and -4.7% over one. It sits just 1.4% above its 200-day average — technically in an uptrend, but without much room. Annualized volatility of 19.0% is moderate by single-stock standards.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -19.2%, and it has traded a median $1.1B a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.07 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
