Key Factors
Generac’s performance is likely to have been cushioned by strength in the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) products segment’s sales. The C&I business segment is likely to have been aided by increasing spend on telecom infrastructure and rising power outages. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for C&I products' revenues is pegged at $342 million, implying a 10% gain year over year.
The company’s International C&I business segment is likely to gain from rising global demand for backup power and mobile products. Shipments for domestic C&I products are likely to have benefited from momentum across all channels, which also include national rental equipment, industrial distributors, telecom and other direct customers. Increasing shipments of natural gas generators, which are used in applications beyond traditional emergency standby projects, also bode well.
However, Generac’s performance is likely to have been affected by demand softness in Residential products owing to elevated field inventory levels for home standby generators. This is likely to have negatively impacted orders and shipments. Also, a decline in shipments of clean energy products is likely to act as a headwind. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Residential products' revenues is pegged at $574 million, suggesting a 13.6% tumble year over year.
GNRC’s margin performance is likely to have been affected by rising expenses owing to an increase in personnel hire as well as research and development costs. Weakness in PWRcell energy storage systems is a major concern.
