What believers are saying

  • Generac reported $1.6 billion data-center backlog in July 2026.
  • Second-quarter 2026 C&I sales rose 29% to $556 million.

What critics are saying

  • The Amazon warrant caps upside: 1.69 million shares and 2033 expiration.
  • EEOC's September 30, 2026 settlement forces policy revisions and training after Title VII violations.
  • Generac's data-center boom depends on one customer, making Amazon concentration an existential risk.

What makes Generac unique

  • September 16, 2026 Amazon deal locked Generac into data-center backup power supply.
  • Generac's vertically integrated large-megawatt manufacturing differentiates it from commodity generator assemblers.
  • Its residential dealer network still throws off cash while C&I scales faster.

Through these partnerships, we continue to support projects that create quality job opportunities for national talent, contribute to developing their expertise and skills, enhance the competitiveness of the national economy and consolidate the private sector's contribution to sustainable economic development." For his part, Mr. Paolo Campinoti, President of International Development at Generac, expressed his pride in this partnership in the Kingdom of Bahrain, which represents an important step in the company's journey toward strengthening its regional presence and expanding the scope of its cooperation in the region, noting that the project reflects confidence in the promising potential provided by the Kingdom and its supportive business environment, and also embodies the partners' commitment to building long-term cooperation that contributes to achieving added value and supporting industrial and economic growth in Bahrain and the region.

This support comes in line with Tamkeen's strategic priorities for 2026, which focus on areas with the highest return for the economy and Bahrainis, contributing to launching initiatives that link skills with available job opportunities in the market, adopting an innovative approach to stimulate private sector growth and financing, in addition to developing mechanisms, enhancing governance and institutional culture at the Fund, with the aim of enhancing the level of support provided to enterprises and maximizing their contribution to the private sector by improving their performance.

Generac could jump 50% as analysts back its $8B Amazon data centre generator deal

Generac (GNRC), a maker of backup power systems long tied to hurricane demand, is winning business from AI data centres. Last month it signed a deal worth up to $8 billion to supply backup generators to Amazon's data centres. The first $2.4 billion of deliveries will come next year and in 2028. Generac's sales were $4.2 billion last year. It also holds a $1.6 billion data centre backlog, bringing its data centre work to about $4 billion. Analysts have raised price targets, including Canaccord to $375, Stifel to $290, and JPMorgan to $265. The mean target of $288.95 implies a gain of about 50% over 12 months. Citi cut its target from $300 to $232. The stock remains down over 60% from its 2021 peak.

Oshkosh Plan Commission to review Pioneer Island plans and more Oct. 6.

Oshkosh Plan Commission to review Pioneer Island plans and more Oct. 6. Commissioners will consider a Pioneer Island restaurant and amphitheater, downtown ice cream and mini golf, and a Generac storage expansion. Oshkosh Northwestern Oct. 2, 2026, 4:59 a.m. CT * The Oshkosh Plan Commission is set to review a major development proposal for Pioneer Island. * Plans for the island include a new restaurant, an amphitheater and expanded outdoor entertainment areas. * A separate proposal seeks to add an ice cream parlor and a nine-hole miniature golf course downtown. * Generac Power Systems is also requesting an expansion of its outdoor storage at its manufacturing campus. OSHKOSH - The Oshkosh Plan Commission will consider plans for a new restaurant and expanded outdoor entertainment on Pioneer Island when it meets at 4 p.m. Oct. 6. The commission is being asked to recommend approval of the general development plan for 1000 Pioneer Drive. It also will act on an ice cream parlor and miniature golf proposal downtown and an outdoor storage expansion at the Generac Power Systems campus. Restaurant, entertainment venue proposed for Pioneer Island. The 6.3-acre site at 1000 Pioneer Drive could add a restaurant, outdoor seating and games, an amphitheater, an event space and a wharf under a proposal from Pioneer Island LLC. The first phase would add a support building with permanent restrooms, a walk-in cooler and storage for the existing tiki bar, along with improved outdoor seating and activity areas. Later phases would include a 10,097-square-foot restaurant, a permanent event structure, an amphitheater and a new parking lot. The full development would provide 341 parking spaces, 19 fewer than required by code. The applicant points to 60 on-street spaces on Pioneer Drive, pedestrian access and 28 boat slips as additional options. City staff supports the plan and recommends that detailed zoning exceptions be addressed during later specific implementation plan reviews. Special event permits would be required when determined by the city's special events coordinator. Ice cream parlor, patio and mini golf planned on Waugoo Avenue. A two-story building constructed in 1875 at 13 Waugoo Ave., next to Reimer Jewelers, could gain an ice cream parlor on its first floor, a covered patio and an accessible ramp. The second floor would remain residential. The adjacent vacant lot at 15 Waugoo Ave. would become a nine-hole miniature golf course, with customers paying inside the ice cream parlor. The applicant plans to combine the two parcels. Proposed exterior work includes repainting the wood storefront black, adding glass-and-black-aluminum overhead doors on the front and east sides, and building a wood-and-metal roof over the patio. A neighboring property owner raised a concern about keeping an emergency exit facing the patio and golf area unobstructed. City staff recommends approval, finding the changes compatible with the downtown setting. Generac seeks outdoor storage expansion. Generac Power Systems is requesting approval to add about 60,326 square feet of outdoor storage at its 22.6-acre manufacturing campus at 3815 Oregon St. The company wants an 8-foot chain-link fence with privacy slats to secure the site's south entrances and screen stored wood dunnage and large frames. The plan requires exceptions allowing the fence in the front yard and reducing the south setback from 30 feet to 15 feet. No new pavement, lighting or façade changes are proposed. The landscaping plan would preserve existing vegetation and add plantings for a total of 1,095 landscaping points, exceeding the roughly 603 points required. City staff recommends approval with conditions covering the reduced setback, taller fence and final landscaping review. How to attend or watch the meeting. The Plan Commission will meet at 4 p.m. Oct. 6 in Room 406 at Oshkosh City Hall, 215 Church Ave. Viewers can watch through the Oshkosh Media GovTV livestream, Spectrum Cable Channel 10, AT&T U-verse Channel 99 or the Oshkosh Media apps on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV.
