Air Liquide’s flotation on the stock market marks the start of a strong and lasting relationship between the Group and its shareholders.
For several years, shareholders support the nascent company by contributing successive capital increases. Air Liquide continues to grow with the help of shareholding by family and professionals.
On February 20, 1913, Air Liquide is listed for the first time on the Paris stock exchange and gradually becomes a blue-chip stock on the financial market. Since its initial offering, Air Liquide has continuously generated profits. A policy of steady dividends and regular free share allocations has enabled its shareholders to secure strong returns on their initial investment.
Nearly a century later, Air Liquide remains sturdy on the CAC40 index and can boast 390,000 individual shareholders who hold 36% of its capital.
A partner for the long term, Air Liquide relies on the support and trust of its shareholders to pursue its vision of sustainable, competitive growth.
