Baker Hughes Eyes Chart Industries: A $13.6 Billion Bet On LNG & Digital Power

 

Baker Hughes is reportedly nearing a $13.6 billion all-cash acquisition of Chart Industries, potentially derailing Chart’s previously announced all-stock merger with Flowserve. The proposed deal, which values Chart at $210 per share—a 22% premium to its latest closing price—marks a significant strategic pivot by Baker Hughes toward enhancing its footprint in liquefied natural gas (LNG), nuclear energy, and digital infrastructure, particularly data centers. By superseding the $19 billion Flowserve-Chart merger agreement from June, Baker Hughes aims to consolidate its position in high-growth, energy-adjacent sectors through vertical integration and technology enhancement. This potential acquisition comes on the heels of Baker Hughes’ strong Q2 2025 performance, where the company posted $1.21 billion in adjusted EBITDA and highlighted robust momentum in Industrial & Energy Technology (IET), particularly from power equipment orders tied to data centers. Here’s a closer look at the four key drivers behind this potential acquisition and how it may unlock synergies across Baker Hughes’ diverse portfolio.
