Baker Hughes Forecasts Lower Oil and Gas Spending Growth for 2026
Baker Hughes (BKR) anticipates a modest decline in global oil and gas producer spending this year, as outlined by CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. While growth is expected in regions like Latin America, offshore Africa, and North American land operations, it will be offset by reduced investment in Europe and the Middle East. The forecast highlights regional disparities in energy sector capital allocation amid shifting market dynamics. The outlook may influence investor sentiment toward oilfield services firms that rely on global project spending for revenue growth.
