Last earnings call, Jul 26, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Baker Hughes reported a strong second quarter with adjusted EBITDA of $1.23 billion, adjusted EPS of $0.64, record IET orders of $7.1 billion (company bookings $10.5 billion), and robust free cash flow of $1.1 billion. Performance exceeded guidance, margins expanded to a record 18.3%, and the company highlighted continued strength across power systems, data centers, LNG, and gas infrastructure. Management discussed the recently closed Chart acquisition, positioning Chart as a third operating segment, targeting $325 million of synergies and disciplined integration. They reiterated a disciplined capital allocation approach, temporary leverage increase due to the acquisition with an expected return to 1.0x-1.5x net debt/adjusted EBITDA within 24 months, and highlighted a $5 billion power systems revenue opportunity by end of 2029 with phased CapEx through 2026-2028. Management acknowledged headwinds including Middle East volatility, higher inflationary and logistics costs, and supply chain/project timing uncertainty but emphasized strong execution and backlog visibility into 2027 and beyond.
- Guidance
- No explicit numeric revenue/earnings guidance given on the call for Q3 or full-year, but management provided directional/operational guidance: expect temporary increase in leverage after Chart acquisition with return to 1.0x-1.5x net leverage within 24 months; target $325 million of synergies from the Chart acquisition; aim for $5 billion annualized power systems revenue capacity by end of 2029 (3x-4x growth vs ~ $1B in prior year); phased incremental CapEx between 2026 and 2028 with expected paybacks below 2 years; balanced outlook for second half with Middle East revenue assumed broadly consistent; no formal guidance for 2027 provided but backlog gives visibility.
- Risks flagged
- Middle East geopolitical volatility and related project timing/supply-chain disruption; higher inflationary costs and elevated logistics/freight costs impacting margins (notably in OFSE/East); uncertainty in project timing and local supply chains; FX and trade policy risk; temporary increase in leverage from acquisitions; conversion cadence risk in Gas Technology Equipment backlog; integration/execution risk on Chart synergies and portfolio actions.
