Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
BKR is set to report Q2 results on July 22, after posting strong earnings surprises in prior quarters.
Consensus estimates point to a year-over-year decline in both earnings and revenues for BKR.
BKR's Oilfield Services & Equipment segment is expected to post a 10% revenue decline in Q2.
Baker Hughes (BKR - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2025 results on July 22, after the closing bell.
Let us delve into the factors that might have influenced BKR’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Before that, it is worth taking a look at the company’s performance in the last reported quarter.
Highlights of BKR’s Q1 Earnings & Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings of 51 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents, primarily driven by higher demand for natural gas technology and an improving EBITDA margin.
Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 11.9%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of 55 cents has witnessed two upward revisions and no downward movement in the past 30 days. The estimated figure suggests a 3.5% decline from the prior-year reported number. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $6.6 billion indicates a 7.1% decline from the year-ago recorded figure.
BKR: Factors to Consider
Per the data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the average Cushing, OK, WTI spot prices for April, May and June of this year were $63.54, $62.17 and $68.17 per barrel, respectively. Thus, the overall pricing environment was favorable in the second 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.
However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for BKR’s total orders is pegged at $6.8 billion, lower than $7.5 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BKR’s orders from the Oilfield Services & Equipment business is pegged at $3.5 billion, lower than $4.1 billion reported in the year-ago quarter.
Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for BKR’s revenues from the Oilfield Services & Equipment business is pegged at $3.5 billion, lower than $4 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Our model predicts BKR’s second-quarter revenues from the Oilfield Services and Equipment business segment to decline 10% year over year.
Hence, the weak performance of the Oilfield Services & Equipment segment, the largest revenue contributor, may have adversely impacted its results for the upcoming quarter.
