    Baker Hughes Investment Narrative Recap

    To own Baker Hughes, you need to believe in its role as a core equipment and services supplier to LNG, gas infrastructure and power systems, with a growing installed base that can support recurring service revenue.

    Among the recent announcements, the Sabine Pass LNG expansion stands out as most relevant here. It combines new liquefaction equipment for Train 7, a boil-off gas re liquefaction unit and a four year fleet wide gas turbine upgrade program, adding to Baker Hughes’ LNG equipment and services backlog. For investors focused on contract quality and conversion risk, Sabine Pass provides a concrete example of long duration LNG work that could underpin the current IET backlog story.
