About
Baker Hughes Company is a Houston, Texas-based energy technology and oilfield services company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: BKR) as an S&P 500 Energy component — providing oilfield services and equipment (OFSE — drilling, completions, production, and intervention technologies for upstream oil and gas operations) and industrial and energy technology (IET — turbomachinery, compressors, industrial equipment, and digital solutions for LNG terminals, industrial plants, and new energy applications) through approximately 58,000 employees in 120+ countries. Baker Hughes was formed in 2017 through the combination of Baker Hughes (founded 1987) with GE Oil & Gas — GE selling its oil and gas equipment and services business to Baker Hughes — creating a combined company that trades under NYSE: BKR while GE initially held a majority stake, which GE divested by 2022. In fiscal year 2024, Baker Hughes reported revenues of approximately $27.8 billion with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $4.4 billion, with the Industrial & Energy Technology segment (LNG compressors, gas compression, power generation turbines for industrial applications) generating 38% of revenue at above-average margins as LNG terminal construction and industrial decarbonization drove demand for Baker Hughes's turbomachinery and electrification equipment. CEO Lorenzo Simonelli has executed Baker Hughes's "energy transition" strategy — positioning Baker Hughes's equipment and services for both conventional oil and gas (OFSE — growing with global upstream capital expenditure) and the new energy economy (IET — LNG for energy transition, hydrogen compression, carbon capture equipment, geothermal drilling) to reduce Baker Hughes's correlation to oil price cycles.
Houston natural gas pipeline infrastructure (NYSE: KMI) ~$14.8B FY2024 revenue, $8.0B Adj. EBITDA; 79K miles pipelines, AI data center gas demand tailwind, first female CEO Kim Dang competing with Williams and Energy Transfer.
About
Kinder Morgan, Inc. is a Houston, Texas-based natural gas pipeline and terminal infrastructure company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: KMI) as an S&P 500 Energy component — owning and operating approximately 79,000 miles of pipelines and 139 terminals transporting and storing natural gas (primary), gasoline, crude oil, CO2, and other products through approximately 9,000 employees across the continental United States. In fiscal year 2024, Kinder Morgan reported revenues of $14.8 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $8.0 billion — with the Natural Gas Pipelines segment (Tennessee Gas Pipeline, El Paso Natural Gas, Southern Natural Gas) generating 60%+ of total EBITDA through long-term capacity reservation contracts with electric utilities, LNG export terminals, industrial gas consumers, and local distribution companies. CEO Kim Dang (appointed 2023, the first female CEO of a major US midstream energy company) has positioned Kinder Morgan to benefit from the structural natural gas demand surge driven by AI data center electricity consumption and US LNG export expansion: natural gas power plants are the fastest way to add electricity generation capacity for AI data center load growth (an 800 MW gas-fired CCGT can be built in 18-24 months versus 10+ years for nuclear), requiring additional natural gas pipeline capacity to supply new generation — which Kinder Morgan is uniquely positioned to contract for through its existing pipeline corridors.
