Amazon receives warrants
Amazon received warrants in Generac as part of the deal, adding dilution the market will eventually have to price.
Caterpillar ticks up 2%
Caterpillar stock gained 2% to $799.43 as a shared data-center-power narrative gave it a modest lift.
Cummins remains flat
Cummins stock stayed unchanged at $527.48, confirming Generac's rally is one-company specific rather than sector-wide.
Canaccord flags $8B potential
Canaccord Genuity reported up to $8 billion in potential Amazon orders for Generac, though only $2.4 billion is contracted.
Warrant dilution complicates pricing
The warrant grant means Amazon captures part of the economics from Generac's orders, creating dilution the market must eventually price.
Sector remains flat
The Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI) is up 0.1% to $168.89, essentially flat on the session.
What to watch next
Traders may monitor whether Generac holds gains as warrant math gets closer scrutiny from sell-side desks.
