About
Itron is a global technology company founded in 1977 and headquartered in Liberty Lake, Washington, that provides smart metering hardware, grid-edge intelligence, and network infrastructure for electric, gas, and water utilities worldwide. The company was built on the premise that utilities need accurate, timely consumption data to manage their networks effectively and that the physical infrastructure for collecting that data — meters, communications networks, and analytics platforms — requires specialized engineering and operational expertise at global scale. Itron's mission is to create a more resourceful world by enabling utilities to optimize the delivery of energy and water.\n\nItron's product and platform portfolio spans advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), grid edge intelligence, network management, and utility analytics. The company manufactures smart meters and communications modules and operates the Itron Riva network — a distributed intelligence platform that moves data processing from the utility back office to the edge of the grid. Itron serves electric, gas, and water utilities across more than 100 countries and has deployed smart metering solutions for major utilities including a 2 million meter contract with Xcel Energy and a 7.7 million meter contract with HEDNO in Greece.\n\nItron reported $2.4 billion in revenue for 2024, a 12% increase year over year, and $324 million in EBITDA, up 43% year over year — metrics that reflect both strong market demand for grid modernization and improving operational leverage. The company trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ITRI and holds a strong competitive position as utilities globally accelerate AMI deployments driven by regulatory mandates, electrification demand growth, and the operational requirements of integrating distributed energy resources into aging grid infrastructure.

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.
