What Happened?

Baker Hughes Company stock rose about 21% in the last 30 days, finishing near $62 per share as investors responded to record earnings, expanding backlog, and improved 2026 visibility. Shares now trade close to their 52-week high of $63, reflecting sustained buying pressure rather than a short-term spike.

The rally was driven by record 2025 financial performance and stronger-than-expected order momentum, which improved confidence in the company’s growth durability.

Baker Hughes reported full-year adjusted EBITDA of $4.83 billion and fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.34 billion, both record levels.

Industrial & Energy Technology generated $14.9 billion of orders in 2025, including $4 billion in Q4, lifting backlog to a record $32.4 billion with book-to-bill above 1x.

Power systems orders reached $2.5 billion, including $1 billion tied to data centers, strengthening exposure to AI-driven electricity demand.

Management guided to 2026 revenue of $27.25 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $4.85 billion, implying mid-single-digit organic EBITDA growth.

CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said the company is seeing a “global power demand multiyear growth cycle,” supported by LNG, gas infrastructure, and electrification trends.

IET margins are expected to reach 20% in 2026, supported by higher-margin backlog conversion and continued strength in gas technology and LNG, where $2.3 billion of equipment orders were booked in 2025.

Institutional activity reinforced the move. Vanguard increased its stake to 123,890,075 shares, representing about 12.56% of the company.

NEOS Investment Management boosted its position by 71.9%, HighTower Advisors raised its stake by 14.0%, and Norges Bank opened a new $862.7 million position. Institutional ownership remains near 92%, underscoring continued long-term conviction.

Is Baker Hughes Undervalued?

Under valuation assumptions, the stock is modeled using:

  • Revenue Growth (CAGR): 1.8%
  • Operating Margins: 14.1%
  • Exit P/E Multiple: 21x

Revenue growth reflects a shift toward more stable, long-cycle infrastructure markets rather than short-cycle drilling exposure.

From 2025 revenue of $27.73 billion to 2028 estimated revenue of $29.27 billion, the implied CAGR supports the conservative 1.8% assumption used in the model.

Expansion continues to be driven by Industrial & Energy Technology, where record backlog of $32.4 billion provides multi-year revenue visibility.

Power systems remains a structural driver, with $2.5 billion of 2025 orders including $1 billion tied to data centers, positioning the company for accelerating AI infrastructure investment and distributed gas power deployment.

Margin expansion toward 14.1% assumes continued productivity gains and favorable backlog conversion.

Management expects IET margins to reach 20% in 2026, supported by higher-margin equipment mix and services pull-through. Free cash flow of $2.7 billion in 2025 and a 57% conversion rate strengthen balance sheet flexibility.

Based on these inputs, the model estimates a target price of $68, implying about 9% total upside. However, when annualized through the model horizon, that equates to approximately 2.9% per year, suggesting limited forward return potential from current levels.

At current prices near $62, Baker Hughes appears fully valued to slightly overvalued, with much of the recent 21% rally likely reflecting improving fundamentals and margin expansion expectations.
