Why the new bp contract matters for Baker Hughes stock

Baker Hughes (BKR) has just secured a significant contract from bp to provide offshore stimulation services across bp’s UK North Sea operations, putting its StimFORCE vessel based solution in focus for investors.

The bp award arrives while Baker Hughes’ share price has moved steadily higher this year, with a year to date share price return of 34.71% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 41.49%. However, the 90 day share price return has eased 2.07%, which hints at softer recent momentum.
