Chart Industries Q4 Orders Drop 23.8%; Full-Year Sales Up Ahead of Baker Hughes Acquisition
summarizeSummary
Chart Industries reported mixed financial results for Q4 and full-year 2025. While full-year orders increased by 13.4% to $5.68 billion and sales rose 2.5% to $4.26 billion, fourth-quarter orders saw a significant 23.8% decrease to $1.18 billion, and Q4 sales declined 2.5% to $1.08 billion, notably impacted by a lack of 'Big LNG' orders. This earnings report provides the latest operational performance data for the company, which is currently in the process of being acquired by Baker Hughes, with shareholder approval received in October 2025 and closing expected in Q2 2026. The Q4 slowdown in orders could be a concern for standalone operations, but the pending acquisition significantly influences the stock's valuation. Traders will be watching for updates on the regulatory approval and finalization of the Baker Hughes acquisition.
