Baker Hughes to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What You Need to Know
Read MoreHide Full Article
Baker Hughes (BKR - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2025 results on April 22, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, its adjusted earnings of 70 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 63 cents, primarily driven by higher operational performance across both segments and an improving EBITDA margin.
Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 11.7%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share of 47 cents has witnessed four downward revisions and no upward revision in the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests an improvement of 9.3% from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $6.5 billion indicates a 1.5% increase from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider
Per the data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the average Cushing, OK, WTI spot prices for January, February and March of this year were $75.74, $71.53 and $68.24 per barrel, respectively. Thus, the overall pricing environment was favorable in the first quarter of 2025, as the breakeven costs of the exploration and production companies in the shale plays were significantly lower.
The advantageous crude pricing environment is expected to have favored the demand for oilfield services for assisting exploration and production players in efficiently fixing oil and gas wells. Our model predicts BKR’s first-quarter EBITDA from the Oilfield Services and Equipment business segment to increase 1.1% year over year.
