Why it matters

The strategic read

Puts a named hyperscaler’s data-center backup generation on a long-term Generac supply agreement, with equity warrants that vest as Amazon actually pays for generators. The $2.4B 2027–2028 figure is expected initial deliveries, not a disclosed take-or-pay, and the $8B figure is a warrant-vesting cap rather than a firm purchase commitment.
