Air Products raises FY2026 EPS guidance to 11-12% growth as electronics backlog surges and Louisiana project exit reshapes capital allocation

Air Products delivered Q3 FY2026 EPS of $3.47, up 12% year-over-year, driven by on-site volume growth, new asset contributions, and stronger-than-expected equity affiliate income — outperforming guidance on helium headwinds and prompting a full-year guidance raise to $13.39-$13.49. The decisive exit from the Louisiana clean energy project, combined with a $2.9 billion pretax charge, resets the capital structure toward a $1.5 billion annual traditional industrial gas investment cadence with electronics now comprising over two-thirds of the opportunity pipeline. The Yara marketing agreement for NEOM green ammonia eliminates volume offtake risk while retaining price exposure, with management confirming zero P&L or material cash flow impact in FY2027.
