Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GNRC) is a leading manufacturer of backup power generation products for residential, light commercial, and industrial markets. The company is known for its innovative solutions, including AI-driven data centers, which have been gaining traction. Generac competes with companies like Cummins and Kohler in the power generation industry.

On February 12, 2026, Roth Capital adjusted its rating for Generac to Neutral, maintaining its previous grade and recommending investors hold the stock. At that time, the stock price was $214.99. Roth Capital also raised the price target for Generac from $184 to $220, indicating a positive outlook for the company's future performance.

Generac's shares have reached 52-week highs, despite a lackluster fourth-quarter performance. The company reported a fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.61 and an 11% decline in revenue. However, the stock surged due to expectations of mid-teens net sales growth in 2026 and significant expansion in the commercial and industrial sectors.

The optimism surrounding Generac is fueled by strong momentum and increased demand for AI-driven data centers. The company's operating leverage and a price/earnings to growth ratio under 1.9x further support its premium valuation. Additionally, a bullish technical setup suggests potential for upside in the stock's performance.

Generac's stock is currently priced at $214.99, reflecting a significant increase of 17.93% with a change of $32.69. Today, the stock has fluctuated between a low of $190 and a high of $220.76. Over the past year, the stock has reached a high of $220.85 and a low of $99.50. The company has a market capitalization of approximately $12.62 billion, with a trading volume of 4,280,336 shares on the NYSE.
