(Reuters) - French industrial gases supplier Air Liquide raised its medium-term operating margin guidance and extended the target period by one year on Friday, after its 2024 sales slightly beat market expectations.
It now expects the operating profit margin to rise by 460 basis points, or 4.6 percentage points, in the 2022 to 2026 period, compared with the previous goal of 320 bp rise until end-2025.
