 A Message From The Oxford Club Dear Reader, My name is Alexander Green. I've been the chief investment strategist of one of America's oldest private investment research groups for over two decades. I bought Apple in 1996. A decade before the iPhone. In 2004, I recommended Nvidia… at a split-adjusted 66 cents. In 2005, I bought Amazon and Netflix, under $3 pre share split-adjusted. I don’t tell you this to brag. I tell you this to show you my track record when it comes to identifying big technology trends, and getting them right. Now I’ve found three AI stocks I believe could be the most profitable investments of the next decade. 
These three stocks could change your life. Click here to get all three stock names. Good investing, Alexander Green

Generac Plugs Into Amazon for an $8B AI-Powered DealAuthored by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Article Published: 9/18/2026. 
Key Points
- Amazon signed a supply agreement with Generac worth up to $8 billion through 2033 to secure on-site backup power for its AWS data centers.
- Generac will deliver about $2.4 billion in power generation hardware in 2027 and 2028, and Amazon received warrants for roughly 1.69 million shares at $200.9266 each.
- The deal shifts Generac from a seasonal residential backup power company toward a diversified industrial supplier addressing grid delays limiting AI data center growth.
- Special Report: The trading strategy that works BECAUSE you have a life
Training artificial intelligence requires tremendous computing power, but operating clusters of high-density processors requires something even more basic: reliable electricity. Cloud providers are confronting an unyielding physical reality as regional utility grids struggle to supply power at the pace modern technology demands. Multi-billion-dollar data centers face years of waiting just to turn on the lights. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) decided that waiting in line was no longer an option. By embracing behind-the-meter generation, Amazon is securing electricity directly on-site to keep data center construction timelines intact.
To supply that critical hardware, Amazon selected Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC). The resulting commercial agreement carries a potential value of up to $8 billion, signaling a shift in how technology infrastructure gets built and transforming Generac from a consumer storm hedge into an enterprise energy anchor. Gridlock Alert: The Behind-the-Meter Power RushRegional grid operators such as PJM Interconnection and ERCOT are facing historic demand spikes from AI facilities. Connecting a large computing campus to the commercial grid currently takes between three and seven years. Compounding this challenge, grid operators are developing operating standards that could reduce electricity supplies to large facilities during periods of extreme regional power strain unless those campuses have independent, dedicated power hardware. Leaving expensive server racks dormant while waiting for public utility buildouts is not practical. The power bottleneck has elevated behind-the-meter generation from a temporary safeguard to a core strategic requirement. Behind-the-meter systems sit on the customer side of the utility meter, allowing a campus to generate baseload or supplemental power without relying exclusively on the public grid. By securing high-capacity generator units directly from manufacturers, Amazon can bring AWS data centers online sooner, bypass regional substation delays and reduce the risk of having power curtailed during periods of heavy grid demand. Wired for Growth: Amazon's Multi-Billion-Dollar Supply PactThe supply agreement between Generac and Amazon creates a multiyear equipment pipeline with a potential value of up to $8 billion through Sept. 16, 2033. The near-term orders are already substantial. Generac is contracted to deliver $2.4 billion in power generation hardware during 2027 and 2028. This schedule provides strong forward visibility while dedicating manufacturing capacity to AWS facilities over the next two years. To secure production capacity, Amazon received warrants to buy up to roughly 1.69 million common shares of Generac at an exercise price of $200.9266 per share. This structure mirrors Amazon's long-standing supplier framework, which aligns commercial commitments with equity ownership. Only 307,954 shares vest immediately, with subsequent tranches unlocking progressively as Amazon's cumulative hardware payments advance toward the $8 billion cap. Tying dilution, which totals about 2.9% of Generac's share count, directly to cash-generating sales milestones creates clear structural alignment between the two businesses. From Storm Patrol to AI PowerhouseGenerac established its market reputation by dominating the residential backup power sector. For decades, investors treated Generac as a seasonal business, buying shares ahead of major weather events and selling after storm-driven demand subsided. That weather-dependent model is shifting decisively toward enterprise infrastructure. Generac has spent years expanding its commercial and industrial engineering capabilities, developing modular, multi-megawatt systems that produce up to 3.25 megawatts per unit. These systems can run on natural gas, low-sulfur diesel or bi-fuel configurations. They also pair with integrated microgrid controls from its Deep Sea Electronics unit, allowing multiple engines to run in parallel as a unified power plant. The Amazon agreement could provide a significant boost to Generac's top-line revenue. The $2.4 billion order represents roughly $1.2 billion per year across 2027 and 2028. Against Generac's annual revenue base of about $4.21 billion, this single contract represents an immediate lift of approximately 28% over baseline sales. Generac is effectively replacing some of its dependence on seasonal consumer purchases with large, multiyear enterprise contracts that can provide more predictable revenue. Balancing the Voltage: Growth Leverage Versus Client ConcentrationGenerac enters this production ramp with stable fundamentals. The company maintains a conservative balance sheet, supported by a debt-to-equity ratio of about 0.43 and a current ratio above 2.0. With trailing 12-month net income of $159.55 million, operating leverage should expand as factory floors operate closer to full capacity. Valuation multiples also offer an attractive backdrop. Generac trades at around 18 times forward earnings, representing a noticeable discount compared with pure-play technology companies. As high-value enterprise equipment makes up a larger share of EBITDA, Generac could see its valuation multiple re-rate toward those of premium industrial equipment manufacturers. Investors should keep key risks in perspective. Concentrating substantial production with one major customer gives Amazon meaningful leverage over future terms, which could pressure margins if raw material costs, such as those for copper or specialized steel, rise. Rapidly scaling production of multi-megawatt units will require tight working capital discipline, and any logistical snags could delay delivery milestones. Strategic Moves for the Industrial AI WaveThe race to build artificial intelligence has entered a phase in which physical hardware constraints govern technological progress. While semiconductor designers trade at elevated valuations, industrial suppliers solving the power bottleneck offer an appealing risk-adjusted alternative for long-term capital. Securing Amazon as an anchor customer validates Generac's industrial generation platform on a global scale. Investors seeking indirect exposure to artificial intelligence might consider Generac as an infrastructure alternative with strong backlog visibility. Cautious investors may prefer to monitor the company's upcoming quarterly earnings reports to confirm gross margin execution and delivery schedules before building a position.
