The company combines Howard Hughes Senior's 1909 rotary drill bit business with Baker's casing technology, merged in 1987, and later absorbed General Electric's oil and gas division in 2017 before GE fully exited. Two segments run today: oilfield services and equipment, and industrial and energy technology, the latter selling turbomachinery and compressors for liquefied natural gas plants. That LNG exposure gives it a longer capital cycle than pure service peers. Headquarters are in Houston.

Baker Hughes equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge BKR stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and BKR's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current BKR option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Baker Hughes grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Baker Hughes typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Baker Hughes RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Baker Hughes restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
