Barclays reiterates Generac stock rating on Amazon supply deal
Barclays maintained an Equalweight rating and $278 price target for Generac (GNRC) after its long-term supply deal with Amazon. The agreement includes an equity warrant for 1.69M GNRC shares. Generac's Q2 2026 earnings beat estimates with $2.91 EPS, though revenue slightly missed. Analysts like Cantor Fitzgerald and Needham raised or kept price targets, citing data center growth and tariff refunds.
