GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 59.8/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #714 of 7,333 stocks, GNRC presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 60/100, GNRC shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 11.3% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 39.3% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 6.8% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
GNRC's value score of 65/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 44.97x, an EV/EBITDA of 28.79x, a P/B ratio of 5.10x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
With an investment score of 47/100, GNRC exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 11.6% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 5.4% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
GNRC demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 62/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 11.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.38 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
With a stability score of 52/100, GNRC exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.38 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 111.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 57/100 for GNRC suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.38), elevated leverage (D/E: 111.00x). With a $9.8B market cap (mid-cap), GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #714 of 7,333 overall (90th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 11.3% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 10.8% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While GNRC currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
