Price Target

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Generac Hldgs, Raises Price Target to $170

Trading in Generac Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is quiet on Tuesday. The stock is consolidating after a move higher of almost 5% yesterday. Some analysts attribute the strength to possible increased sales of generators because of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/06/39463207/air-conditioner-utilities-shares-climb-as-heat-wave-heads-from-midwest-to-the-south">heatwave in the Midwest</a>.
Generac is the Stock of the Day, with a price action that appears to be bullish and a good chance it will move higher.
Technical analysis has a dubious reputation, but unfortunately, it deserves it. Many analysts look for patterns on charts without understanding the price action that makes these patterns form.
For example, an ascending triangle pattern is bullish. It is a graphical illustration of a market with aggressive buyers and complacent or patient sellers. This dynamic can be a setup for a move higher.
In early April, the stock found resistance around the $117 level, where it stayed until early May. The traders and investors who created this resistance with their sell orders were content to stay there.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="542" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24135326/Generac.June2025-1024x542.png" alt="" class="wp-image-960387" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24135326/Generac.June2025-1024x542.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24135326/Generac.June2025-300x159.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24135326/Generac.June2025-768x407.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24135326/Generac.June2025-1536x814.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/24135326/Generac.June2025.png 1552w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

They decided that if the buyers came to them, they would sell, but if not, they would hold onto their positions.
During the same period, those who wanted to buy became increasingly aggressive. They were increasingly willing to pay higher prices.
Stocks don't go in straight lines. They go in peaks and valleys. 
When a valley forms at a higher price level than the previous valley, traders say it is a higher low. This is bullish because the buyers are entering the market at successively higher prices.
After breaking out of this ascending triangle, another one appeared on the chart in late May and June.
Resistance formed around $131. The sellers were content to stay there. But the buyers continued to come into the market at higher prices. This formed the second ascending triangle on the chart.
Now the shares have broken out again and are trending upwards.
The ascending triangle pattern is bullish. It is an illustration of aggressive buyers and complacent sellers. These dynamics set the stage for a move higher.

Stock Of The Day: Generac Breaks Out (Again)

In the current session, Generac Hldgs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is trading at $125.25, after a 0.85% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 2.28%, and in the past year, by 9.62%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750186836_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Generac Hldgs P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 41.89 in the Electrical Equipment industry, Generac Hldgs Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 22.05. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750186836_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

The Analyst Verdict: Generac Hldgs In The Eyes Of 11 Experts

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.

With full restoration expected to take hours or longer, the incident underscores how fragile interconnected energy grids can be — and how vital protection and backup solutions are becoming.
This is where companies like Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), Fluence Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLNC#NASDAQ">FLNC</a>), and Generac Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) could come into focus. 
<ul>
<li>Palo Alto, a leader in cybersecurity, could benefit if the outage investigation confirms cyber vulnerabilities. </li>
<li>Fluence Energy, which specializes in grid-scale energy storage, could gain from increased investment in grid resiliency and modernization. </li>
<li>Generac, a key supplier of backup power generators, also stands to profit if businesses and homeowners rethink their energy contingency plans.</li>
</ul>
While these respective stocks did not react sharply following the outage, demand for stronger grid defenses, energy storage and backup systems could accelerate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PANW Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Palo Alto Networks&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PANW has a 52-week high of $208.39 and a 52-week low of $142.00
