Generac's second quarter results were defined by an accelerating data center buildout that is reshaping the company's revenue mix and long-term capacity strategy. C&I segment sales surged 29% year-over-year to $556 million, with data center-related revenue exceeding $100 million in the quarter alone. Two multiyear hyperscale supply agreements now anchor the company's order book: the first, announced in early June, carries commitments of nearly $700 million for 2027 deliveries; the second, signed in late June, is described as at least as large and covers both 2027 and 2028 on a global basis. Total data center backlog now stands at $1.6 billion, none of which yet reflects the second hyperscale agreement, and full-year 2026 data center revenue guidance has been raised to approximately $450 million. The pace of order intake, roughly $1 billion in new data center orders over the last 90 days, is driving management to accelerate capacity investments well beyond prior targets.
