Generac has identified Amazon as the hyperscale data-center customer behind a global generator supply agreement that is expected to produce $2.4 billion in deliveries during 2027 and 2028, giving the power-equipment maker a defined near-term order schedule equal to roughly 57% of its entire 2025 revenue. Generac disclosed the arrangement on Sept. 16, while NYSE trading data showed its shares rose 18.3% in the following session on Sept. 17.
The agreement links Amazon’s expanding data-center footprint to Generac’s commercial and industrial equipment business, which has been growing faster than the company’s residential operations. Generac’s Sept. 16 regulatory filing says the initial delivery plan covers backup generators for Amazon data centers globally, with the longer-term relationship supported by a warrant arrangement tied to Amazon’s future equipment payments.
Generac reported $4.209 billion in 2025 revenue in its annual filing. Against that base, the stated $2.4 billion delivery value for the first two years represents an unusually large customer schedule for the company, though it should not be treated as an immediate single-year revenue addition. Delivery timing, installation requirements and project execution will determine when the equipment is recognized as sales.
Amazon agreement clarifies an earlier announcement
Generac had announced in June that it secured a global supply agreement with an unnamed hyperscale data-center operator. The Sept. 16 filing identified Amazon as that customer and added more detail on the commercial structure.
The equipment will provide backup power for data centers during grid outages and other interruptions. These systems extend beyond the generator engine itself. Generac said large deployments can include packaged equipment, controls, switchgear and other on-site integration components needed to connect the generator fleet to a facility’s electrical infrastructure.
That equipment scope helps explain why data-center contracts can create substantial order values even before a site is fully operational. A large campus may need multiple generators, transfer systems and control equipment, while procurement schedules can be spread across construction phases and regions.
Generac’s filing presents the $2.4 billion expected delivery value for 2027 and 2028 as the concrete part of the arrangement. It does not establish an $8 billion fixed generator purchasing commitment from Amazon.
The $8 billion figure governs warrant vesting
Amazon received warrants to acquire up to 1,693,700 Generac shares at an exercise price of $200.9266 per share, according to Generac’s filing. About 308,000 warrants vested immediately upon signing. The remaining warrants will vest in stages as Amazon and its affiliates make qualifying payments for generators under the supply arrangement.
The filing sets $8 billion in cumulative payments as the threshold at which the full warrant package can vest. That figure functions as a cap within the vesting mechanism, rather than a stated obligation for Amazon to buy $8 billion of equipment.
The distinction places the disclosed business opportunity on two different tracks. Generac has a delivery schedule worth $2.4 billion over 2027 and 2028, while additional procurement beyond that period would determine whether Amazon reaches payment levels required for later warrant tranches to vest.
If all 1,693,700 warrant shares are issued, Generac expects dilution of at least 2.57% of its fully diluted share count. The warrants also permit cashless exercise, meaning the exercise price should not be used to calculate potential cash proceeds for Generac by simply multiplying it by the number of shares.
The arrangement gives Amazon an equity-linked incentive connected to its spending with Generac, while allowing the generator supplier to secure a major customer relationship without promising that every potential future dollar of purchases will materialize.
Data-center orders are reshaping Generac’s growth mix
The Amazon agreement arrives as Generac’s commercial and industrial segment accelerates. Generac reported second-quarter revenue of $1.17 billion, up 11% from the prior-year period. External sales from its commercial and industrial segment reached $556 million, a year-over-year increase of about 29%, according to the company’s quarterly results.
Generac also said in late July that its data-center product backlog stood at roughly $1.6 billion, rising by around $1 billion from its previous update. That backlog preceded the detailed disclosure of the Amazon arrangement, underscoring how quickly large data-center customers have become a major source of equipment demand.
The company maintained 2026 revenue-growth guidance of “mid-to-high teens” and forecast commercial and industrial revenue growth of a little more than 30% for the year. Those projections suggest that data-center demand is already contributing to current expansion, even though the Amazon delivery schedule described in the filing begins in 2027.
The challenge for Generac will be converting a large backlog and a multiyear customer framework into deliveries without bottlenecks in manufacturing, engines, controls or field integration. Data-center projects tend to require equipment availability to align with construction schedules, grid connections and commissioning deadlines, leaving little room for delays across the supply chain.
A contract built around future procurement
Amazon’s disclosed order plan gives Generac visibility into a substantial two-year revenue opportunity, while the warrant design leaves the larger $8 billion payment threshold dependent on future data-center buildout and equipment needs.
For Generac, the agreement extends its role from a supplier of standby power equipment into the procurement plans of one of the world’s largest data-center operators. For Amazon, it provides a long-term supply relationship for equipment needed to keep computing facilities operating when utility power is disrupted.
The immediate financial benchmark remains the $2.4 billion in planned 2027–2028 deliveries. Any revenue beyond that schedule, and any further warrant vesting tied to cumulative payments, will depend on Amazon’s subsequent generator purchases under the agreement.
