Memo

Baker Hughes Company (BKR). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-09-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 27.7 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth -0.3%; net margin 10.1%; ROE 15.1%.

The estimated value range is 53.46–126.02 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 76.58 USD, the price of 49.87 USD leaves a potential of 53.6% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 34.9% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

Insufficient data for a verdict (score weight coverage: 54.2% of at least 60%).

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • Net margin: 10.1%
  • FCF conversion: 111.4%
  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: 9.4%
  • P/E (TTM): 17.1x
  • FCF yield: 6.5%
  • Payout ratio (FCF): 28.2%
  • The price is below the estimated value range

What contradicts it

  • Shareholder yield (distributions): 1.8%

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): ROIC, EPS CAGR 3Y, Net debt / EBITDA, Interest coverage, EV/EBITDA.

In brief

Baker Hughes is an energy technology company with two segments, OFSE and IET, which reported revenues of 27.7 billion USD in 2025 1. In the second quarter of 2026 revenues were 6.7 billion USD, while orders and RPO grew strongly, especially in IET 23.

SWOT

Strengths

  • A diversified technology portfolio and a large base of long-term contracts support revenue stability 13.
  • A strong position in LNG, gas turbines and compressors, where orders grew significantly in the second quarter of 2026 3.
  • A solid research and development base, with many patents granted in 2025 1.

Weaknesses

  • The OFSE segment recorded revenue declines in 2025 and in the second quarter of 2026 12.
  • Integration costs from the Chart acquisition and divestiture transactions have generated significant expenses 12.
  • Reliance on fixed-price contracts can expose the company to rising raw material and transport costs 1.

Opportunities

  • Data center power demand and turbine orders could keep growing 13.
  • Geothermal development and carbon capture solutions could open new markets 13.
  • Operating expenditure-driven spending to improve recovery from existing fields could support OFSE activity 1.

Threats

  • Oil price volatility and geopolitical tensions can reduce upstream customer spending 12.
  • A slower energy transition could diminish demand for clean energy technologies 1.
  • Dependence on key suppliers and supply chain delays can affect project execution 1.

Risks

  • Intense competitionmedium

    The highly competitive environment may limit the company's ability to hold prices and market share 1.

  • Slower energy transitionhigh

    Changes in policy could reduce demand for investments in new energy 1.

  • Supply chainmedium

    Disruptions and rising raw material costs can affect operational execution 12.

  • Dependence on GE Vernova and GE Aerospacehigh

    A reduction in commercial relations with these suppliers could affect financial results 1.

  • Chart integration risksmedium

    Integrating the acquisition and carrying out divestitures can generate unexpected costs and divert management attention 12.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • Demand for LNG, gas turbines and data center power appears solid, and IET orders grew strongly in the second quarter of 2026 3.
  • The record IET backlog provides high visibility into future revenue 3.
  • The diversified portfolio and investments in new energy could support long-term growth 1.

What would break the thesis

  • OFSE activity remains weak, and revenue has fallen in several regions 12.
  • A slower energy transition could reduce demand for clean energy technologies 1.
  • The Chart acquisition and divestitures carry integration risks and high costs 12.

What to watch

  • Integration of Chart Industries and effects on margins and cash flowQ3 2026
  • Trend in IET orders and RPO, including the updated IET order guidanceQ3 2026
  • Recovery in upstream OFSE spending after Middle East disruptions2027

Trends

  • LNG and gas infrastructure demandtailwind

    Global demand for liquefied natural gas remains solid and could support IET orders if investment in the sector continues 13.

  • Data center power demandtailwind

    Data centers generate new power demand, and the company's power solutions could benefit if this demand holds 13.

  • Uncertainty in upstream oil activityheadwind

    Upstream operator spending fell in 2025 and remains uncertain, which could slow OFSE activity if oil prices stay volatile 12.

  • Pace of the energy transitionmixed

    A slower energy transition could reduce demand for clean energy technologies but could increase demand for conventional oil and gas equipment 1.

Competitive position

In OFSE the company competes with SLB, Halliburton, NOV, Weatherford and TechnipFMC, differentiating on technology, reliability and efficiency 1. In IET its competitors include Siemens Energy, Solar, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, Sulzer, Flowserve and Emerson 1.
