Baker Hughes Raises Guidance Amid Surging Data Center Power Demand
Baker Hughes (BKR) has raised its full-year earnings guidance following strong third-quarter 2026 results. The company is successfully pivoting from traditional oilfield services toward industrial power infrastructure, driven largely by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence workloads and data centers requiring reliable on-site gas turbine power. Key strategic drivers include the integration of Chart, which has already yielded $70 million in annualized savings toward a $325 million goal, and the growth of Mature Asset Solutions (MAS). Management expects MAS revenue to reach at least $3 billion by 2030. With record order backlogs providing visibility past 2027, Baker Hughes is positioning itself for more resilient, long-duration earnings that are less dependent on volatile commodity cycles.
