Generac shares declined 1.9% following earnings as investors digested mixed execution amid solid growth in Commercial & Industrial segment sales offset by cautious shipment guidance and a telecom customer order reduction.
- Consolidated net sales grew 11% year-over-year, led by a 29% increase in the Commercial & Industrial segment driven by strong data center product revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded to 24.8%, supported by tariff refunds and operating leverage.
- Backlog for data center products reached $1.6 billion, with recent multiyear hyperscale supply agreements adding visibility into 2027 and beyond.
- Shipments to domestic industrial distributors declined compared to a strong 2025 quarter, although order activity remained robust and hit a record high.
- Full-year shipments for the domestic telecom channel are now expected to be flat owing to a pullback in orders from a key telecom customer working through installation backlogs.
