With Hurricane Season Heating Up, Consider These Trades

In late May, we highlighted hurricane stocks that tend to run higher every year.

We had even more reason to believe these stocks would explode higher after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said 2025 could see an above-normal hurricane season. Since May, most of the top hurricane stocks exploded higher.

While Hurricane Gabrielle isn’t expected to hit the U.S., there are two other storms developing in the Atlantic that could.

If that’s the case, our hurricane stocks could trend even higher. That includes:

Generac Holdings (SYM: GNRC)

In late May, Generac, which markets home standby generators and the leading global manufacturer of mobile generators for industrial use, traded at about $122. Today, it’s up to $182.31 and could push even higher with the storm season just getting underway.

Generac has a very strong history of running ahead of and during hurricane seasons. That’s because when there’s a loss of power, generators see significant demand.

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.”

Since May, shares of Home Depot ran from about $350 to a high of $425. Now back to $412.16, it could rally higher again. Also, since May, Lowe’s ran from about $220 to a high of $275. Now back to $263.65, it could also rally higher if hurricane season intensifies.

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.”

Since late May, XYL ran from about $125 to $142.
