Baker Hughes signs power island deal with Venture Global and GE Vernova for up to 16 sites

Baker Hughes has signed a Power Frame Agreement with Venture Global and GE Vernova to supply gas and steam turbines, controls and electrical systems for up to 16 behind the meter power islands. The islands would support US liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and potential data centre projects, with deliveries from 2028 to 2034. The deal adds long-dated orders and backlog depth more than near-term earnings. The key swing factor remains the integration of Chart Industries and its margin and cost targets. Analysts expect revenue to grow 8.8% a year to $35.7 billion, and earnings to rise from $3.1 billion to $3.7 billion by 2029. More cautious analysts forecast revenue of about $34.8 billion and earnings near $3.5 billion.
