Is Baker Hughes (BKR) Undervalued On Its 76 Turbine Order?
Baker Hughes (BKR) is back in focus after Dynamis Power Solutions placed a major order for 76 NovaLT™16 gas turbines, roughly 1.3GW of hypermobile power capacity for data centers and oil and gas projects.
At a share price of US$62.41, Baker Hughes has seen a 6.3% 1 month share price return and a 32.4% year to date share price return, while its 1 year total shareholder return of 39.6% and 5 year total shareholder return above 200% point to strong long term momentum. The recent Dynamis order and steady weekly rig count updates are helping keep the stock in focus rather than reversing that trend.
