About Baker Hughes Company
About Baker Hughes Company
Baker Hughes booked $29.6 billion of orders in 2025 — $14.7 billion from Oilfield Services & Equipment (OFSE) and $14.9 billion from Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) — leaving a remaining performance obligation backlog of $35.9 billion at year-end, of which $32.4 billion sat in IET. The company operates in more than 120 countries and spent $600 million on R&D in 2025, receiving over 1,400 patents worldwide.
Baker Hughes earns revenue under fixed-fee or turnkey contracts, transactional product and service agreements, frame and master service agreements, integrated project and alliance models, and subscription or license arrangements for its digital and analytics offerings. OFSE — competing against SLB, Halliburton, NOV, Weatherford and TechnipFMC — designs and services products across the full oilfield life cycle from drilling through decommissioning, generally on a well-by-well basis even under multi-year framework contracts. IET — competing against Siemens Energy, Solar (a Caterpillar company), Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, Sulzer, Flowserve and Emerson — sells gas turbines, compression equipment, industrial products and Climate Technology Solutions such as CCUS and hydrogen systems to LNG plants, pipelines, utilities and data centers. Many oil-and-gas contracts use a knock-for-knock indemnity structure in which each party covers claims tied to its own personnel and equipment, while the company's pending $210-per-share cash acquisition of Chart Industries would add cryogenic and gas-handling equipment to its industrial portfolio.
Show full overview
Baker Hughes' new-energy strategy carries a disclosed pacing risk: the 10-K acknowledges that the transition to a lower-carbon economy has become more uncertain and variable by region, with signs of a slowdown that could leave Climate Technology Solutions such as CCUS, hydrogen and geothermal undersupported by demand even as the company continues investing in them. That transition-timing risk now compounds with integration risk from the pending Chart Industries acquisition — a $210-per-share, roughly $3.18-billion-revenue cryogenic-equipment deal announced July 29, 2025 and approved by Chart shareholders on October 6, 2025 — which the filing says remains subject to regulatory clearances still underway in certain jurisdictions, with closing expected in the second quarter of 2026.
