The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sys 2025 could see an above-normal hurricane season.
In fact, as noted by NOAA.gov:
“NOAA’s outlook for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which goes from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season.
The agency is forecasting a range of 13 to 19 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of those, 6-10 are forecast to become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3-5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA has a 70% confidence in these ranges.”
That being said, keep an eye on hurricane-related stocks, such as:
Generac Holdings (SYM: GNRC)
GNRC is a $7.32 billion leader in power generation equipment and other light-motor equipment for residential and industrial customers.
It markets home standby generators and the leading global manufacturer of mobile generators for industrial use. Beyond the physical damage to homes and businesses, one of the biggest inconveniences of a powerful storm is electrical outages. Better, the stock has a history of pushing higher, as hurricane season heats up.
There are also home improvement stocks.
Home Depot (SYM: HD) and Lowe’s (SYM: LOW) historically stand to benefit from increased sales of plywood and other home improvement goods. This segment is “naturally positively exposed to preparation and recovery efforts,” says Morgan Stanley. These “typically see a boost in sales post-storm as damaged property is repaired.”
Xylem (SYM: XYL)
Xylem has a history of running higher in hurricane seasons, too.
All as it works with “cities, counties and companies to create contingency plans that map out emergency response strategies and identify the required pumping equipment to react to natural disasters.”
With NOAA forecasting a hyperactive hurricane season and storm-related stocks already in motion, investors need to prepare for more than just weather.
