Baker Hughes stock gained 0.94 percent as guidance rose

Baker Hughes stock gained 0.94 percent to USD 57.83 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, as the energy technology company moved into the final quarter with higher fiscal-year guidance. The key change is the integration of Chart Industries, which Baker Hughes acquired in July and now includes in its 2026 outlook.

Guidance rises after Chart deal

As MarketScreener reported on September 9, 2026, Baker Hughes raised its fiscal-year 2026 revenue guidance to USD 28.50 billion to USD 30.30 billion from USD 26.65 billion to USD 28.05 billion. The lower end increased by USD 1.85 billion, while the upper end rose by USD 2.25 billion.

The same update set adjusted EBITDA guidance at USD 4.88 billion to USD 5.48 billion, compared with the prior range of USD 4.60 billion to USD 5.10 billion. The forecast includes Chart revenue of USD 1.85 billion to USD 2.25 billion and Chart EBITDA of USD 300 million to USD 400 million from the July 16 closing date.

Integration shapes the earnings mix

The company filing published by StockTitan identifies fiscal-year 2026 free cash flow conversion guidance of 40 percent to 45 percent and an adjusted effective tax rate of 22 percent to 26 percent. Baker Hughes also expects Chart's adjusted EBITDA margin to rise from 17 percent in the second half of 2026 to 22 percent to 23 percent in the second half of 2028.

That mix gives investors two separate operating questions. The revenue range is higher because of the acquisition, while the 40 percent to 45 percent cash conversion range reflects acquisition-related interest, transaction and integration costs. The quality of execution therefore depends on turning Chart's added scale into margin and cash-flow improvement.

Stock remains below yearly high

Baker Hughes stock closed at USD 57.83 on September 25, 2026, against a prior close of USD 57.29. The Nasdaq session range was USD 56.75 to USD 57.90, while the 52-week range stood at USD 43.92 to USD 70.41 and market capitalization was USD 57.4 billion.

The next earnings report is scheduled for October 28, 2026, according to Investing.com. The coming report should show how much of the updated outlook is coming from the legacy businesses and how much from Chart's first contribution period.
