Shares of Air Products & Chemicals were lower after the
company recorded a bigger sales decline than analysts had been
expecting.
The stock was down 9% at $265 in early trading. Shares have
fallen 14% year-to-date.
The Allentown, Pa.-based provider of essential industrial gases
and chemicals posted quarterly sales of $3.19 billion, down from
$3.57 billion last year and missing analyst projections for $3.35
billion, according to FactSet.
The top line was dragged down by the lower energy cost
pass-through, which was only partially offset by higher prices.
The lower energy pass-through charges impacted sales but not
earnings. The company logged a higher profit, and adjusted
earnings, which strip out one-time items, topped analyst
projections by 4 cents at $3.15 a share, according to FactSet.
