Air Products & Chemicals Inc (APD) exceeded analysts’ expectations for both earnings and revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company attributed the strong performance to growth in its core industrial gas business and a strategic divestiture of its LNG business. Air Products also provided positive guidance for the first quarter and full year of 2025.

Air Products is poised for growth driven by strategic investments and productivity initiatives, but the company faces challenges from economic weakness in China and Europe.
