Baker Hughes is an energy technology company offering a broad array of products and services across the energy and industrial sectors. Through two main segments—Oilfield Services & Equipment (OFSE) and Industrial & Energy Technology (IET)—the company supports oilfield operations, energy transition efforts, and industrial solutions. With a focus on advancing technologies that improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and help meet the goals of a net-zero energy future, Baker Hughes is well-positioned in an evolving market. Recent analysis of the oil and gas sector, covering oil and gas producers, energy services, and energy infrastructure, revealed limited relative strength across the broader space. A few pockets of activity were identified, as reported in the daily stock updates from October 28th to November 1st. The return of a pro-energy administration has sparked some positive movement in energy services stocks, such as the Step Energy (STEP) buyout, though the overall sector remains relatively weak. However, after the SIA Ai scanned recent market activity, it was noted that shares of Baker Hughes (BKR) have surged into the SIA Favored Zone of the NASDAQ 100 Index, climbing 17 spots in just the past week. One week post-election, Baker Hughes, a large-cap drilling stock, has experienced a fresh influx of demand, pushing its share price through resistance at $38.88 and up to $44. This move formed a bullish "catapult" pattern on the Point and Figure chart—a key technical signal. The catapult pattern occurs when the price breaks out from a multi-top or multi-bottom formation, pulls back, and then breaks out again, reinforcing the initial breakout and indicating a strong upward trend.
The next resistance levels for Baker Hughes are at $46.47 and $50.30, with the latter aligning with the psychological $50 mark. While the broader sector remains weak and commodity prices sluggish, there are signs of improvement, particularly in natural gas, which surged more than 10% in a single day. Baker Hughes shares now have solid support at the 3-box reversal level of $40.45, with additional support at $38.12, $35.92, and long-term trend support at $30.06.
