Lincoln Electric Earnings: Solid Operating Margin Expansion in Q3
We’ve raised our fair value estimate for narrow-moat-rated Lincoln Electric to $179 from $171 after the company posted solid third-quarter earnings. Record adjusted operating margins helped drive a roughly 18% year-over-year increase in adjusted EPS, from $2.04 to $2.40. The fair value estimate increase reflects our slightly more optimistic operating margin projections as well as time value of money.
