Stifel Raises Generac Price Target to $235 on Data Center Growth Prospects

Stifel has increased its price target for Generac Holdings (NYSE:GNRC) to $235 from $210, while reiterating a "Buy" rating for the stock. This upward revision is primarily driven by robust growth prospects within Generac's Commercial & Industrial (C&I) segment, particularly fueled by increasing demand from data center orders. The optimistic outlook comes despite Generac reporting fourth-quarter 2025 financial results that fell short of analyst expectations, with earnings per share at $1.61 against a forecast of $1.77, and revenue of $1.1 billion compared to an anticipated $1.16 billion. Nevertheless, investor confidence in strategic updates and future growth potential led to a pre-market rise in the stock. Stifel's assessment underscores the significant long-term opportunities presented by the burgeoning data center market for Generac.
