Generac Q3 2026: Data center C&I surge drives 16% revenue growth as IEEPA tariff refunds boost margins to multi-year highs
Generac's C&I segment delivered 28% revenue growth in Q3 2026, driven entirely by ramping large-megawatt diesel generator shipments to global data center customers — the clearest signal yet that hyperscaler backup power demand has crossed from pipeline to recognized revenue. Gross margin expanded to 39.9% from 38.3%, with IEEPA tariff refunds contributing approximately two percentage points of gross margin expansion in the nine-month period; all Phase I refunds ($91.1 million YTD) have now been received, eliminating that tailwind for Q4. The filing explicitly flags escalating contract risk with data center customers — including cancellation rights and potential liability exposure tied to performance obligations — as a new forward risk that is structurally absent from prior periods.
