-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
BKR opened 2026 with Q1 adjusted EPS of $0.58, beating consensus of $0.51 by $0.09. IET segment drove performance with revenue up 14% Y/Y to $3.35B, while OFSE declined 7% to $3.24B. IET order flow surged 54% to $4.9B, marking the third consecutive quarter above $4B, with margins expanding 310 bps to 20.2%, demonstrating the strength of BKR's industrial energy technology business amid robust demand from Gas Technology and Climate Solutions divisions. BKR signed a three-year deal for well construction support in Argentina's Vaca Muerta unconventional oil play, which could provide sizable growth potential. The overall book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x looks healthy, led by IET at 1.5x, while remaining performance obligations stand at $36.1B, with $33B from IET. We believe the strong IET momentum and resilient OFSE margins of 17.4% (down just 40 bps despite Middle East headwinds) position BKR well for continued outperformance in the current environment.
