Action:Reiterated
Date:05/22/26
BKR scores well on financial performance and outlook, driven by the profitability/FCF recovery and strong IET order/backlog momentum. Technicals also support the score with an ongoing uptrend. The main constraints are geopolitical/OFSE near-term headwinds and only moderate valuation support given the modest dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Record IET orders & backlog
Sustained record IET bookings and a $33.1B RPO provide durable revenue visibility across multi-year project cycles. A large, executable backlog de-risks near-term revenue, supports higher-margin equipment and aftermarket conversion, and underpins longer-term margin and cash generation as projects deliver.
Negative Factors
OFSE cyclicality and headwinds
The oilfield services & equipment business remains highly cyclical and sensitive to upstream capital spending. Persistent OFSE volatility can depress blended company growth and margins in downturns, making overall revenue and cash conversion uneven and complicating multi-year planning for capital allocation and shareholder returns.

Baker Hughes Company Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 23, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 22, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call was broadly positive: management reported record IET orders, strong margin expansion (notably in IET), robust backlog/RPO and a strengthened balance sheet while executing portfolio actions and strategic partnerships. However, meaningful near-term headwinds persist—primarily from the Middle East conflict—which pressure OFSE revenue and create macro uncertainty. Management maintained full-year guidance ranges (with expectations slightly below midpoint), provided constructive Q2 segmentation, and emphasized progress on integration and divestitures. Overall, the positives (record orders, margin expansion, balance sheet strength, and portfolio momentum) materially outweigh the near-term geopolitical and transactional headwinds.Positive Updates
Strong Adjusted EBITDA and Margin Expansion
Adjusted EBITDA of $1.16 billion, exceeding guidance; adjusted EBITDA increased ~12% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA margin rose 140 basis points YoY to 17.6%.
Negative Updates
Middle East Conflict Causing Material Disruptions
Ongoing conflict caused shipping/logistics disruptions and tightened global oil and LNG balances; management notes >10% of global oil volumes impacted and ~20% of global LNG capacity offline, creating volatility and supply risk that hit operations and market outlook.

Company Guidance
Management guided Q2 revenue of $6.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $1.13 billion (assumes Middle East disruption through end‑June and Strait of Hormuz reopening thereafter), with IET EBITDA expected at about $670 million and OFSE EBITDA about $540 million (OFSE revenue ~ $3.2 billion); for the full year they maintained company revenue and adjusted EBITDA ranges but expect results slightly below the midpoint, reaffirmed at least the $14.5 billion midpoint for full‑year IET orders and the $2.7 billion midpoint for IET EBITDA, and noted OFSE may only reach the low end of its EBITDA range (~$2.325 billion) if the conflict resolves by end‑June; additional metrics cited in the call include Q1 adjusted EBITDA $1.16 billion, Q1 adjusted EPS $0.58 (ex‑items), Q1 free cash flow $210 million, Q1 IET bookings $4.9 billion and RPO $33.1 billion, net debt/adjusted EBITDA 0.32x, cash $14.8 billion, liquidity $17.8 billion, targeted Chart integration cost synergies of $325 million, and expected ~ $3 billion gross proceeds from 2026 portfolio actions.Baker Hughes Company Financial Statement Overview
