Not on a net basis. Generac has 0.5% more shares outstanding than twelve months ago. Whatever it bought back did not cover the new shares it issued. Over five years the share count is down 6.5%.
Net of every new share it issued, Generac has 10.1 million fewer shares than at its 2014 peak. That is 14.6% of the company.
59,006,361 shares, as of July 31, 2026, from the cover page of its latest 10-Q. At the 2014 peak it had 69,093,775.
Each share is a bigger slice of the company. Someone who held Generac stock in 2014 owns 1.2 times as much of the business today without buying another share. Whether that was a good use of cash depends on the price paid.
Generac ranks No. 240 of 251 companies on Buyback Radar by share of the company retired since its peak. Close to it on the list: Aci Worldwide (15.2%), Cbre Group (14.7%), Woodward (14.3%), Brown-Forman (14.1%).
Every answer is computed from Generac's own SEC filings and rebuilt every Monday. Latest count: 10-Q on EDGAR.
