Baker Hughes reports Q3 net profit of $695 million, driven by Chart acquisition
What happened
Baker Hughes reported $695 million in net profit adjusted for nonrecurring items for the third quarter, which was an eight percent increase from the prior three-month period and two percent from Q3 2025. The company also completed its acquisition of Chart Industries Inc. at an offer of $210 per share.

Why it matters
The sequential increase in adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the Chart acquisition, higher volume, and price, although these gains were partially offset by inflation and reduced productivity benefits.
