Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Equipment orders are booming: its industrial unit's bookings doubled to a record $7.1 billion from April to June 2026.
  • Data center power is a growth market: in July 2026, Dynamis disclosed an order for 76 of its gas turbines.
  • Flexible work is official policy: its 2025 annual report lists hybrid schedules, compressed workweeks and remote options.

What critics are saying

  • Oilfield work is slipping: that unit's revenue fell 5% and earnings 11% year over year from April to June 2026.
  • Some staff are changing owners: in April 2026 it agreed to sell its Waygate inspection unit to Swedish firm Hexagon.
  • Cuts are reaching Houston: 147 jobs at its Emmott Road plant are being eliminated from July 2026 into spring 2027.

What makes Baker Hughes unique

  • Half its sales are machines, not well services: turbines and compressors brought 49% of second-quarter 2026 revenue.
  • Careers here go global: over 45,000 of its roughly 56,000 employees work outside the US, in 85-plus countries.
  • Its reach runs past oil: buying equipment maker Chart in July 2026 added cooling gear for LNG and data centers.
