Generac Stock Surges After Major Partnership With Amazon
Shares of Generac (GNRC) surged by nearly 18% on Thursday following a significant partnership with Amazon.com (AMZN). Under the agreement, Amazon will purchase up to $8 billion worth of backup power generators from Generac for its AI data centers over time. Initial deliveries are expected to total $2.4 billion in 2027 and 2028, which is substantial compared to Generac's projected revenue of $4.2 billion in 2025. As part of the deal, Amazon received a warrant allowing it to purchase up to 1,693,745 shares at an exercise price of $200.92 per share, potentially amounting to over $340 million in investment. This partnership is seen as a major endorsement for Generac's product quality and could lead to additional contracts with other cloud computing companies. The deal not only provides immediate financial benefits but also enhances Generac’s credibility by securing Amazon—a tech giant—as both a customer and potential investor—thereby signaling strong market confidence in the company.
