Baker Hughes Co represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Baker Hughes Co a Hold rating, with a composite score of 62.9/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #428 of 7,333 stocks, BKR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 58/100, BKR shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 13.2% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 24.0% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 9.2% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
BKR's value score of 69/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 24.48x, an EV/EBITDA of 18.75x, a P/B ratio of 3.23x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
Baker Hughes Co's investment score of 37/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -1.8% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 6.1% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
BKR demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 65/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at -1.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.13 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
BKR shows good financial stability with a score of 77/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.13 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 115.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
BKR carries a short interest score of 77/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 115.00x). At $48.0B market cap (large-cap), Baker Hughes Co offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
BKR offers a modest dividend yield of 1.8%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
Baker Hughes Co is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #428 of 7,333 overall (94th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 13.2% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 12.0% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While BKR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
