SIGNAL FROM NOISE: Baker-Hughes ($BKR, $21.97): I Will Survive

Key Takeaways

  • Baker Hughes ($BKR) is known to many investors primarily as an old-regime Energy company. However, it is likely the most diversified (in geography and technology) Oilfield Services company and one of the most exposed to renewable energy.
  • The company has a growth driver in its Turbomachinery & Process Solutions which have multiple renewable energy applications. This is the highest margin segment in the business, and the firm has numerous credible paths to restoring industry-leading margins.
  • The company has a stronger balance sheet than its large-cap peers. It will not have to prioritize reducing debt, giving it additional bandwidth to create shareholder value through a forward-looking strategy.
  • The company's close relationship with General Electric and its top-notch CEO gives us confidence that this firm will almost certainly be a part of the solution to the Energy transition rather than a part of the problem.
  • Investor sentiment toward the Energy industry is still lukewarm at best. Still, we believe the Energy firms who are leaders in clean energy technology and ESG priorities deserve a higher terminal value than peers who do not.
