On October 31, Generac fell 5.09% in Regular Trading, trading at $193.215, with turnover of $132 million.
The move followed continued market digestion of the company’s latest quarterly results and a modest post-earnings target price increase that did little to offset caution around revenue performance.
Generac previously reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.54, above the $2.43 consensus, while net sales of $1.294 billion missed the $1.324 billion market expectation, even though revenue rose from $1.11 billion a year earlier. The company maintained its full-year net sales growth outlook in the mid-to-high teens percent range rather than raising guidance further. After the results, Citigroup lifted its price target only slightly, to $235 from $232, while keeping a Neutral rating, indicating some repair in expectations but still a restrained stance.
