Discounted for Weak Returns, Not for Quality
Generac trades at a discount because the market sees weak capital returns and falling margins, not overlooked quality. ROIC at 4.2% and an 8.1% margin keep the stock in turnaround territory. Power resiliency bets and regulatory risk weigh on sentiment. Cheap isn’t always a bargain.
