Read MoreHide Full Article
Baker Hughes Company (BKR - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings of 57 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. The bottom line also improved from the year-ago quarter’s level of 39 cents.
Total quarterly revenues of $7,139 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,814 million. The top line also increased from the year-ago quarter’s $6,315 million.
The strong quarterly results were primarily driven by significant contracts in its Oilfield Services & Equipment segment, including major contracts with Petrobras and the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic. Additionally, the Industrial & Energy Technology segment's leadership in gas technology secured major contracts in Algeria, Latin America and the Asia Pacific, contributing to the company's revenue growth.
