One of the most popular hurricane-season trades has been Generac Holdings (NYSE: GNRC).
The company is a leading manufacturer of residential standby generators and mobile power systems. Historically, demand for generators tends to rise as hurricanes threaten populated regions and homeowners prepare for potential power outages.
The stock has shown a strong tendency to rally during hurricane season. In late May 2025, shares traded near $122 before climbing to roughly $200 by August. Similar seasonal moves occurred in 2024 and 2023 as investors anticipated increased generator demand.Beyond hurricanes, Generac is also benefiting from growing concerns about aging electrical infrastructure, grid reliability, and extreme weather events. As storms become more frequent and severe, more households and businesses are investing in backup power solutions before outages occur.
Sincerely,
Ian Cooper
