On September 14, Baker Hughes fell 3.42% in regular trading, trading at $57.04/share, with turnover of approximately $108 million, extending its recent downtrend.
The decline was driven by broad-based weakness across the oil services sector. Peers SLB Ltd fell 4.25%, TechnipFMC dropped 3.62%, Halliburton slid 2.93%, Tenaris lost 3.92%, and Solaris Energy Infrastructure declined 8.51%, reflecting significant sector-wide selling pressure. UBS recently lowered its target price on Baker Hughes from $71 to $70, maintaining a neutral rating. In a separate analyst call, Barclays highlighted that shifting delivery timelines for LNG equipment and persistently weak hydrogen energy demand are exerting dual pressure on the company's near-term profit margins.
Despite Baker Hughes having raised its full-year revenue guidance to $28.5–$30.3 billion and reporting a strong Q2 with adjusted EPS of $0.64 beating estimates by 28%, along with record IET orders of $7.1 billion, short-term profitability concerns continue to weigh on market sentiment.
