Baker Hughes (BKR) Misses on Q4 Earnings, Reorganizes Segments
Read MoreHide Full Article
Baker Hughes Company (BKR - Free Report) has reported fourth-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings of 38 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 41 cents. However, the bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter’s 25 cents.
Total quarterly revenues of $5,905 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,059 million. However, the top line increased from the year-ago quarter’s $5,485 million.
The lower-than-expected quarterly results have primarily been driven by higher costs and expenses. The negatives were partially offset by higher contributions from the Oilfield Services and Equipment business unit.
