(Reuters) - GE's Baker Hughes BHGE.N has halted its share buyback program as it awaits more clarity from parent General Electric GE.N about its plans as the U.S. conglomerate embarks on more organizational and financial changes.

“We decided not to continue with our buyback in the third quarter and to wait until we have more clarity in GE’s next step before we resume our buyback activity,” said Baker Hughes Chief Financial Officer Brian Worrell in a call with analysts on Tuesday.
