Baker Hughes introduces "smart" drill bit; analyst calls game changer
Baker Hughes (BHI -0.7%) launches its TerrAdapt self-adjusting drill bit, which it says can deliver dramatic improvements in drilling economics by using automation to adjust to any type of shale rock, improving drilling efficiency and costly tool failures.
BHI's new drill bit that adjusts on the fly is a potential game changer, Tudor Pickering analyst Byron Pope says. “The difference with the technology is you don’t necessarily have to customize it for the Permian or Eagle Ford. You can just have that one bit.”

Susquehanna downgraded BHI to Neutral but appears 20% undervalued:

That would be a disaster!

Analysts at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank largely dismiss yesterday's report on antitrust hurdles in Halliburton's (NYSE:HAL) proposed takeover of Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI) as mostly noise.

trading halted/\ merger problem anti trust

Yep. Anti-trust concerns.

BHI halted... Let's see what's going on now. Buyout must be off the table.

Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI) -0.7% premarket after posting a larger than expected Q2 loss and a 33% Y/Y drop in revenues amid tumbling oil prices, and it expects to see further declines for the rest of the year.

The number of rigs exploring for oil in the U.S. fell by 4 last week to 631, according to the latest survey from Baker Hughes, marking the 28th straight week of declines.

The number of active oil rigs has plunged by 878 rigs, or 61%, since a peak of 1,609 rigs last October.

For all rigs, including natural gas, the week's drop totaled 2 to 857, down by 1,001 from the year-ago period.

The U.S. oil rig count fell by 13 to 646 in the latest week, according to the latest survey from Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), marking the 25th straight week of declines, as the overall count for oil and gas rigs declines 10 to 875.

The U.S. oil rig count fell for the 24th consecutive week in the latest survey from Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), but the decline was just one, to 659 active rigs.

The number of rigs drilling for oil fell by eight this week to 660, the 23rd consecutive weekly decline but the fewest rigs taken out of U.S. oil fields since December, according to the latest survey from Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI).

Baker Hughes's North American operations created segment revenues of $2.00 billion, 28% lower than the $2.78 billion the company pulled in in the year ago quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Baker Hughes reported revenues of $3.30 billion in North America.

Baker Hughes said it had first quarter revenues of $4.59 billion compared against $5.73 billion in the year ago quarter. The Street was expecting revenues of $5.31 billion.

$BHI The number of oil rigs in use in the U.S. kept collapsing last week and the associated gas production will not stay unaffected during the remainder of 2015. Week of 8th, the number of active rigs fell by 42 to 760, the lowest weekly total since December 17, 2010. Since hitting a peak of 1,609 back in October 2014, the number of US oil rigs in use is down by about 53%.

Oh it would be ideal for the price to go lower, just for a short while.

$BHI to generate 2015 revenue of $21.2 billion and eps of $2.30

Baker Hughes Fourth-Quarter Earnings Top Expectations

Source: Dow Jones News
By Chelsey Dulaney
Baker Hughes Inc.'s results in its December quarter easily topped Wall Street expectations, as the oil-field services company benefited from stronger-than-projected demand and cost cuts.

Still, Baker Hughes Chief Executive Martin Craighead warned on Tuesday that 2015 results would likely be pressured by the recent drop in oil prices.

"When we reflect on the marketplace, the bearish sentiment that has pervaded our industry is understandable, considering the steep drop in commodity prices in recent months," Mr. Craighead said. "While market demand ended up being more resilient in the fourth quarter than many had predicted, the recent declines seen in rig counts will clearly affect results in 2015."

On Friday, activist investor ValueAct Capital Management LP reported a 5.1% stake in Baker Hughes--an unusual move, since Baker Hughes is in an agreement to be bought by larger rival Halliburton Co.

ValueAct didn't indicate its motives in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that revealed its stake.

The deal with Halliburton, struck in November and valued at almost $35 billion at the time, underscored the new realities for energy companies in a world suddenly awash with oil. As a result, oil-field services companies, which are hired to drill and pump wells, are facing less demand for their services and pressure to cut prices.

Since the deal was struck, oil prices have continued their downward spiral.

For the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, Baker Hughes reported a profit of $663 million, or $1.52 a share, up from $248 million, or 56 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding a gain on deconsolidation of a join venture, adjusted per-share earnings were $1.44.

Revenue grew 13.2% to $6.64 billion.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting adjusted earnings of $1.07 a share on revenue of $6.41 billion.

The North American segment, the company's largest geographic business by revenue, reported a 20.4% increase in revenue to $3.3 billion. Revenue climbed 13.1% in the Middle East and Asia Pacific region, and 5% in the Europe, Africa and Russia Caspian segment. Latin America revenue edged down 2%.

Expenses, meanwhile, fell 4.5%.
