On December 24, BMO Capital reiterated its Outperform rating on Baker Hughes Company (NASDAQ:BKR) with a $55 price target. The firm anticipates Baker Hughes’ fourth-quarter 2025 earnings to be roughly in line with forecasts due to solid Industrial & Energy Technology (IET) performance offsetting reduced margins in the Oilfield Services & Equipment (OFSE) division.
