Read MoreHide Full Article
Baker Hughes Company (BKR - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2024 results on Jul 25, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the oilfield service provider’s adjusted earnings of 43 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents, driven by significant contracts in the Oilfield Services and Equipment business unit.
The company beat on earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 11.4%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of 49 cents has witnessed one upward revision and one downward revision in the past seven days. The consensus estimate implies an increase of 25.6% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues of $6.81 billion indicates a 7.9% improvement from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider
Baker Hughes is anticipated to have sustained a stable performance in the second quarter of 2024, supported by its advanced technologies and equipment catering to upstream companies. Amid increasing demand for clean energy, the company expects significant growth from lucrative LNG contracts worldwide. An expanding portfolio of international opportunities solidifies its long-term prospects, ensuring project visibility well beyond 2026.
According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil surged 11.3% year over year and 5.55% sequentially. This increase in commodity prices has led to higher revenues for service providers like Baker Hughes.
