How big is it?
Generac didn't buy back any stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, so this program would be a restart.
The amount equals 132% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($379M).
Its diluted share count is up 1.0% from a year earlier.
An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
