What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 40% discount to our $260.20 fair value, weak competitive moat, 10.60% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-09 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 39.5% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 16 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +52% from the screen price.

The Business, in Plain Words
Generators Fire Up But Returns Stay Weak
When the lights flicker out in a Midwest storm, Generac's standby units kick in to keep fridges and freezers running. The business clears the ethical screen yet still fails to meet our standards.
Revenue climbs 12 percent, yet profit margins sit at just 4 percent and return on equity reaches only 7 percent. A weak moat and 19 times forward earnings leave little room for error, which is why we pass even with a calculated margin of safety.
Housing cycles and rivals can quickly trim demand and pricing power, turning modest growth into thin results for owners. Analysis, not advice.
The risks · The things to watch: it already moves more than the market on an average day.
