Generac has built itself into a billion dollar-plus business by manufacturing a broad range of standby and portable electric power generators.

Investopedia: Toro Not Exactly A Charging Bull

Lawn and turf care specialist Toro (NYSE:TTC) arguably could have picked a better time to focus on improving its cost structure and working capital requirements, as the turbulence in the housing market and overall economy had a big negative impact on equipment sales.
