Air Liquide SAElliott Investment Management, which advises funds holding a significant economic interest in L'Air Liquide S.A., issued a statement welcoming the value-creating initiatives announced as part of Air Liquide's new strategic plan at its 2026 Capital Markets Day. Elliott highlighted the company's target to improve margins by 400 to 600 basis points by 2030 and its first-ever large share buyback, which the activist investor said should start immediately. The firm also pointed to Air Liquide's targets for annual growth of 5% in revenue and 10% in EPS through 2030, saying they highlight the strength of its business and the opportunities in AI, electronics, healthcare and space. Elliott called the announcements a positive first step that reflects the company's traditionally prudent approach and leaves room for significant outperformance, and said it looks forward to continued constructive dialogue as Air Liquide works to close margin and valuation gaps with peers. Elliott Investment Management manages approximately $80.3 billion of assets as of June 30, 2026, and was founded in 1977.
