This year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/05/39012013/noaa-meteorologists-predict-aggressive-hurricane-season-what-it-means-for-home-depot-generac-other-s">hurricane season </a>is a deadly one for the eastern and Gulf Coast of the U.S. Several companies and ETFs could be affected by another tropical storm nearing the Gulf Coast.
The Storm: Tropical Storm Rafael, the 17th named storm of the 2024 season, formed in the Caribbean, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/weather/hurricanes/tropical-storm-rafael-forms-expected-hurricane-rcna178632">according</a> to NBC.
The storm passed by Jamaica on Tuesday. It is expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Tuesday near the Cayman Islands and pass over Western Cuba. From there, it will likely weaken into a tropical storm before making landfall near New Orleans. The path may change drastically before impacting the U.S.
The heaviest rain of up to 10 inches is expected in Jamaica.
Market Impacts: With a projected path in the Gulf of Mexico, Rafael could disrupt offshore oil and gas production, which could impact companies operating there.
Potentially affected stocks include major energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), and ETFs like SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) and Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).
Storms in the Gulf of Mexico can also disrupt refining operations, which could impact refiners such as Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).
Construction companies like Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Martin Marietta Materials Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLM#NYSE">MLM</a>) might benefit from increased demand for repairs and rebuilding.
Recent extreme weather activity is linked to climate change. Hurricanes, which will become even more frequent over time, may encourage homeowners to purchase home generators. Generac Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is the largest producer of home generators in the U.S.

Tropical Storm Rafael Could Make US Landfall: 11 Stocks, ETFs To Watch

Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GNRC/earnings">fourth quarter on Thursday</a>.
The company posted quarterly earnings of $2.25 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.95 per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $1.173 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.161 billion.
&#8220;Our third quarter results outperformed our expectations as elevated power outage activity drove increased shipments of our residential products and strong execution helped to deliver significant margin expansion,&#8221; said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;Shipments of home standby and portable generators increased at a very strong rate from the prior year period, more than offsetting expected softness in C&amp;I product sales. As a result, we are updating our full year 2024 guidance to include higher residential product sales with further improvements in adjusted EBITDA margins.&#8221;
Generac shares gained 2.4% to trade at $169.47 on Friday.

As a result of higher than previously expected power outage activity, including the impact of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, the Company is increasing its full-year 2024 net sales guidance. The Company now expects full-year 2024 net sales growth between 5 to 9% as compared to the prior year, an increase from the previous outlook of 4 to 8%.&nbsp;By product class, this updated net sales guidance considers an outsized increase in Residential product sales, partially offset by softer market conditions for C&amp;I and Other product sales in certain end markets and geographies.
Additionally, the Company now expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 7.0 to 8.0% for the full-year 2024 as compared to the prior expectation of 6.5 to 7.5%. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 17.5 to 18.5% as compared to the previous guidance range of 17.0 to 18.0%.

Generac Selected To Enter Negotiations By Dept. Of Energy To Receive Award For Grant Of $50M As Part Of Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnership

Goldman Sachs identified 20 stocks with high short interest that could be primed for a short squeeze, particularly if upcoming earnings reports exceed expectations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest/most-shorted">providing opportunities for traders</a>. 
In a note shared this week, analyst John Marshall and his team saw the potential for substantial upside for this group of stocks if the current trend of short-covering continues.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Is A Short Squeeze?</h3>
A short squeeze happens when a stock with high short interest sees a rapid price surge, forcing short sellers to buy back shares to cover their positions. This buying frenzy often propels the stock price even higher. 
Short sellers bet that the price of a stock will fall, borrowing shares to sell them at the current price with the intent of repurchasing them at a lower price. 
When a stock rises instead, short sellers scramble to cover their positions, accelerating the stock&#8217;s upward momentum.
Short squeezes typically occur when heavily shorted stocks see unexpected positive news or earnings results, triggering forced buying.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Relief Rallies On Earnings</h3>
Goldman analysts also highlighted that heavily shorted stocks tend to be more prone to &#8220;relief rallies&#8221; around earnings. 
A relief rally occurs when stocks perform better than expected after earnings, alleviating bearish concerns and pushing share prices higher.
"We see greater than normal potential for relief rallies on earnings," said Marshall.
The Goldman Sachs team screened for 20 stocks with high short interest, liquid options, upcoming earnings, and a Buy rating from their equity research department.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs recommend to buy call options in order to bet on a potential short squeeze. 
Call options give investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock at a specific price within a set timeframe. This strategy limits risk while allowing for participation in any significant price increases due to a short squeeze or positive earnings surprise.

Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
