Rating:72Outperform

â–²(8.73% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/23/26
The score is driven mainly by a strong fundamental recovery (profitability, ROE, and free cash flow) and a constructive earnings-call backdrop (record IET orders/backlog and margin expansion). These positives are tempered by weak near-term technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD) and ongoing geopolitical-related uncertainty affecting OFSE and guidance positioning.
Positive Factors
Improved profitability and revenue recovery
TTM revenue growth and margin recovery signal durable improvement in core operations and pricing power across segments. A ~9% net margin and rising ROE (~16%) support sustained cash generation and reinvestment capacity, reducing structural vulnerability from prior loss years.
Negative Factors
Middle East geopolitical disruptions
Sustained regional disruptions can materially affect project execution, logistics, and customer capex, creating persistent revenue and margin volatility for months. For a company tied to global energy flows, prolonged instability raises downside risk to OFSE activity and order timing.

Baker Hughes Company Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 23, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 26, 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
