Q2 2026 Jul 29, 2026

Baker Hughes’ shares rose modestly by 2.1% following second-quarter results that showed solid execution and strong order growth, but the market refrained from a larger rally, likely reflecting lingering concerns around margin pressures and regional headwinds.

Key takeaways
  • Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.23 billion, surpassing the high end of guidance, driven primarily by strong OFSC execution and seasonal recovery outside the Middle East.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 70 basis points year-over-year to a record 18.3%, supported by strong Industrial Technology (IT) segment performance offsetting inflation-related margin pressure in OFSC.
  • Orders in the Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) segment doubled year-over-year to a record $7.1 billion, with a 2.2x book-to-bill ratio and 19% growth in remaining performance obligations to $37.1 billion.
  • Power Systems backlog and order pipeline remain strong, with plans to expand gas turbine and generator capacity targeting up to $5 billion in annual revenue by 2029 at full utilization.
  • The recent acquisition of Chart Industries enhances the portfolio, but results continue to be challenged by fluid conditions in the Middle East.
