Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on LIN alone. It places LIN (Linde plc) against 12 popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where LIN stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: LIN's full trading record, from June 1992 through September 2026. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **Right now:** LIN has trailed the market, rising 1.4% over the past 6 months against 9.1% for the S&P 500 and 11.2% for the Nasdaq 100. Its chemical peers split over the past 6 months: APLE (Apple Hospitality REIT) rose 39.9%, while APTV (Aptiv) fell 25.9%.
- **Stock or market?:** LIN fell 1.7% over the past 3 months, 4.5 points behind the chemicals ETF XLB (State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF), which rose 2.9%. The S&P 500 rose 3.9%. On the flip side, LIN rose 9.7% last month as the S&P 500 fell 0.6% and the Nasdaq 100 fell 3.2%.
- **Past 1 to 3 years:** A ahead of 81% of stocks worth at least $300 million over 10 years, but behind 55% of the stocks worth at least $300 million over 3 years. Over the past year, LIN rose 12.7% against 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 17.9% for the Nasdaq 100. The same gap shows up over 3 years (42.4% against 89.3%).
- **Long term:** LIN turned $10,000 into $49,400 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. That said, over 5 years LIN trailed the index: 72.6% against 81.7%.
- **In a crash:** LIN fell less than the S&P 500 in six of seven sell-offs, but the 2015 China and oil sell-off broke the pattern: it fell 16.6%, more than the S&P 500's 12.8%.
- **Diversification:** LIN is some diversification, but not a hedge: a correlation of 0.56 with the S&P 500 over 5 years and 0.56 with the total US market, more closely than 85% of stocks worth at least $300 million. Over 10 years LIN kept more of the market's gains than of its losses: 90% of the S&P 500's gains in rising months and 73% of its losses in falling ones, with a beta of 0.76.
- **Better options**
  - **Popular alternatives:** TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing) and APG (APi Group) were ahead of LIN in most short and long periods, though with much bigger swings (38.5% and 31.9% volatility against 20.9%).
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** XOM (Exxonmobil, integrated oil & gas) and CVX (Chevron, integrated oil & gas) were ahead of LIN in most short and long periods.
  - **Whole market:** 112 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than LIN with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF), BRK-B (Berkshire Hathaway) and BRK-A (Berkshire Hathaway).

## How much would $10,000 in LIN have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in LIN over the past 29 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of LIN over the same span and LIN's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in LIN at the end of September 1997 would have grown to $307,585 by September 2026, more than the $132,907 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Five of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of LIN, and AAPL finished highest, at $20,534,853.

## Risk and diversification

How LIN has fallen, how it held up in crashes beside the S&P 500 and its popular alternatives, and what moves independently of it.

### What were LIN's worst declines?

A drawdown is the decline from a peak to the lowest point before a new high.

- The slowest recovery came after LIN fell 51.8% from June to November 2008; it did not regain that peak until December 2010, two years later.

### How closely does LIN move with the S&P 500?

Upside capture measures how much of the S&P 500's gains an investment kept in the months the market rose, and downside capture how much of its losses it took in the months the market fell.

- Over the past 10 years, LIN captured 90% of the S&P 500's gains in rising months and 73% of its losses in falling months, with a beta of 0.76. That is a defensive profile: it gave up some of the market's upside in exchange for smaller losses.
- Only TSM had a higher capture ratio (upside capture divided by downside capture) than LIN's 1.23, out of ten popular alternatives with the same record.

### What diversifies LIN?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions).

- Moving a fifth of the money in LIN into GLD would have cut the portfolio's volatility by 15% over the past 5 years and raised its annual return (+11.6% for LIN alone, +13.4% for the mix).
- CAH made money in five of the six calendar years in which LIN lost money.
- Among large ETFs, DXJ, SMH and GLD have moved largely independently of LIN over the past 5 years, with correlations of 0.41 or lower, and each still earned a positive 5-year return.

## Common questions

### What was LIN's worst drawdown?

LIN's deepest decline since it began trading in 1992 was 51.8%, from June to November 2008. It took 25 months from the low to climb back to its old high.

### What were LIN's best and worst years?

Over 29 full calendar years, LIN's best year was 2007, when it returned 52.0%. Its worst was 2008, with a return of -31.7%.

### Is there a better investment than LIN?

Among LIN's popular alternatives, TSM and APG were ahead of LIN in most short and long periods, though with much bigger swings (38.5% and 31.9% volatility against 20.9%). Looking beyond its popular alternatives, XOM (integrated oil & gas) and CVX (integrated oil & gas) were ahead of LIN in most short and long periods.

### Is LIN more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. LIN's volatility over the past 5 years was 20.9%, 1.2 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, LIN's return lands within 20.9% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is LIN's Sharpe ratio?

LIN's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.63, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so LIN earned less for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

### How correlated is LIN with the S&P 500?
