Generac Gets $100 Target Hike From Canaccord — Amazon Deal Could Unlock Up To $8B In Orders, Says Analyst

• Canaccord lifted its target to $375 from $275 and kept a Buy rating, per TheFly.
• Cantor said this deal is Generac’s most important data-center disclosure since its first hyperscaler win.
• Initial deliveries under the supply agreement are expected to total $2.4 billion over the next 2 years.

Generac Holdings Inc (GNRC) stock surged in premarket trading Thursday as investors digested its new long-term supply agreement with Amazon (AMZN) for backup generators at data centers, while Canaccord raised its price target on the power-equipment maker by $100, according to TheFly.

Canaccord raised its target to $375 from $275 and maintained a Buy rating, calling the multi-year agreement “landmark.” The firm said it could unlock up to $8 billion in total potential order volume, with roughly $2.4 billion of initial deliveries expected across 2027 and 2028, per TheFly.

GNRC stock was up about 34% in Thursday’s premarket, and was among the trending tickers on Stocktwits at the time of this writing.

Canaccord Sees A Multi-Year Data Center Opportunity For GNRC

Canaccord’s note focused on the scale of the potential business beyond the initial delivery period. The firm expects around $2.4 billion of deliveries across 2027 and 2028, while viewing the broader agreement as capable of supporting as much as $8 billion in potential orders over time, according to The Fly.

That $8 billion figure should not be read as a committed order. Generac’s regulatory filing says warrant shares issued to Amazon vest in stages based on cumulative payments for backup generators, with thresholds extending up to $8 billion. Initial deliveries under the supply agreement are expected to total $2.4 billion in 2027 and 2028.

Cantor Says Amazon Deal Addresses 2028 Backlog Debate

Cantor Fitzgerald also remained constructive, keeping an 'Overweight' rating and $333 price target on Generac stock. According to The Fly, the firm called the Amazon agreement Generac’s most important data-center disclosure since its first hyperscaler win and said it directly addresses the 2028 backlog-replenishment debate that had become central to the stock’s investment story.

Amazon Agreement Adds To Existing Hyperscaler Business

The company expects initial deliveries worth $2.4 billion across 2027 and 2028. The agreement adds to Generac’s existing push into large-scale data-center power.
