스페인 동부와 남부에서 계속되는 홍수로 인해 수십 년 만에 이 지역에서 최악의 인도주의적 재난 중 하나가 발생했다. 무슨 일이 (What Happened): 화요일 밤과 수요일에 내린 폭우로 인해 홍수로 최소 158명이 사망했다고 BBC가 보도했다. 이번 피해는 발렌시아 지역에 집중되어 있으며, 일부 지역에서는 8시간의 강수량이 일반적인 연간 강수량에 해당한다.

스페인을 강타한 치명적인 홍수: 총리가 &#39;재건&#39;을 다짐하며 주목해야 할 5가지 주식

Iberdrola SA

Ongoing flooding in Eastern and Southern Spain has caused one of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change"> worst humanitarian disasters</a> in the region in decades.
What Happened: At least 158 people have been killed by flooding caused by torrential rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckmgmdxg254t">according</a> to the BBC. The damage is concentrated around the Valencia region. In some areas, the eight-hour rainfall matched a typical year&#8217;s worth of rain.
<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spain-flooding-51-dead-in-valencia-region-economic-hub-2024-10">According</a> to Business Insider, an early insurer estimate of economic damage caused by the storm &#8220;easily&#8221; exceeds 1 billion euros.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told residents to stay at home as more rain is expected to fall on Friday.
&#8220;To the villages and cities destroyed by this tragedy, I say the same: Together, we will rebuild your streets, your squares, your bridges," Sánchez said in a televised address, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/spain-flash-floods-people-killed-valencia-rcna177979">according</a> to NBC.
Why it Matters: Increases in the frequency of extreme weather events are widely attributed to climate change.
The automotive industry is prominent in Valencia. 
Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has a large manufacturing plant in Almussafes, just south of Valencia. This facility is one of Ford&#8217;s key production sites in Europe. Significant flooding or infrastructure damage in this region could disrupt operations or logistics, potentially affecting Ford's production timelines.
Iberdrola SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>) is a large utility provider in Spain. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/world/europe/spain-floods-valencia.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur">According</a> to the New York Times, the flood left 155,000 customers without power. General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) does not have a manufacturing facility in the vicinity, though its partnership with Iberdrola and projects in Spain could cause some disruption.
Construction companies could stand to benefit from investment in the region following the cessation of the storm. Ferrovial SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FER#NASDAQ">FER</a>) and ACS Actividades De Construccion Y Servicios ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACSAY#OTC">ACSAY</a>) are among Spain&#8217;s largest publicly traded construction companies.
Investors should also pay close attention to the Spain-tracking iShares Msci Spain ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWP#NYSE">EWP</a>) for any volatility in the coming days.

Deadly Floods Strike Spain: 5 Stocks To Watch As Prime Minister Vows To 'Rebuild'

<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/starmer-woos-global-investors-at?r=3nmatg">British Prime Minister Keir Starmer unveiled</a> that he wants to <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2024/10/14/Starmer-pledges-red-tape-bonfire/8461728902034/">attract billions of pounds of investments</a> during his speech at a UK investment summit on Monday.&nbsp;
The inaugural International Investment Summit in London secured <a href="https://x.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1845867474161397762"> £63 billion in investments and nearly 38,000 in jobs</a>, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves posted on X.
The one-day summit underscored the efforts that Starmer is undertaking to revive the country's economy. <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/british-gdp-growth-wont-offset-borrowing?r=3nmatg&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">UK GDP grew at 0.2% in August after flatlining in June and July</a>.
Starmer <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-international-investment-summit-speech-14-october-2024">told 300 executives</a> that his government would &#8220;rip out the bureaucracy that blocks investment" by slashing red tape.&nbsp;
&#8220;Private sector investment is the way we rebuild our country and pay our way in the world," he said. "Make no mistake, this is a great moment to back Britain."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left">UK Summit Attracts US Data Center Providers</h3>
US firms CyrusOne, ServiceNow, Cloud HQ and CoreWeave announced as part of the summit that <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tech-secretary-welcomes-foreign-investment-in-uk-data-centres-which-will-spur-economic-growth-and-ai-innovation-in-britain">they would invest a total of £6.3 billion </a>in the country&#8217;s data infrastructure. That takes the total investment in UK data centers to over £25 billion since this government took office.
British Technology Secretary Peter Kyle welcomed the ‘vote of confidence' in Britain. 
&#8220;Tech leaders from all over the world are seeing Britain as the best place to invest with a thriving and stable market for data centers and&nbsp;AI&nbsp;development.&#8221;&nbsp;
ServiceNow (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) plans to invest £1.15 billion into its UK business over the next 5 years.
&#8220;AI-powered transformation is a generational opportunity,&#8221; ServiceNow Chairman and&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Bill McDermott<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tech-secretary-welcomes-foreign-investment-in-uk-data-centres-which-will-spur-economic-growth-and-ai-innovation-in-britain"> said</a>. &#8220;ServiceNow's investment will accelerate the UK's innovation blueprint.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">UK Summit Secures Investments</h3>
Labour said ahead of the summit that it has secured "<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/major-investment-deals-set-to-be-announced-at-governments-inaugural-international-investment-summit-as-pm-vows-to-remove-needless-regulation-declar">tens of billions worth of investments</a> within 100 days of being in office." That included more than £24 billion worth of investment in clean energy projects.
Spain's Iberdrola (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>), one of the <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/european-energy-under-threat-from?r=lo563&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">biggest energy companies in Europe</a>, doubled its investment in the UK to £24 billion. Denmark's Orsted (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOGEF#OTC">DOGEF</a>) unlocked £8bn and GreenVolt £2.5bn of investment in offshore wind farms.&nbsp;
But confidence in the economy has been hurt by social tensions around illegal immigration and uncertainty about the upcoming budget. An escalation in <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/europeancapitalinsights/p/geopolitical-risks-may-be-biggest?r=lo563&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">geopolitical tensions in the Middle East</a> has undermined sentiment.
Starmer's and Reeve's popularity has fallen steeply since they won elections in July. In September, consumer confidence crashed by the most in two-and-a-half years.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/uk-ftse-100">FTSE 100</a> traded flat after Starmer's speech. <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/calendar">With UK jobs data due</a> out Tuesday and&nbsp; inflation on Wednesday, markets focused on <a href="https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/live/ftse-100-live-european-stock-markets-wall-street-082512903.html">key economic data</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">UK Summit Gets Support From Banks</h3>
Ahead of the UK summit, some of the world's biggest banks and companies offered an upbeat message. In a letter to The Times, five of the world's biggest banks joined private ­equity firms, insurers and tech giants to say it was "<a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/89afda46-2ced-481c-b4a0-0da65d2a6a1e?shareToken=206261895595c2ed7be6fe2d7796544e">time to invest in Britain</a>."
<a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/89afda46-2ced-481c-b4a0-0da65d2a6a1e?shareToken=206261895595c2ed7be6fe2d7796544e">The 14 signatories</a> include JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup and UBS. Insurers Aviva and L&amp;G signed the letter, alongside private equity firms including Blackstone and KKR.
They pointed to stability, universities, legal expertise and financial services already providing the "bedrock of a strong investment proposition." Growth in the technology and energy sectors had "further enhanced Britain's position."
Confirmed speakers included Ruth Porat, President &amp; Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and David A. Ricks Chair and CEO of Eli Lilly. Alex Kendall, CEO of Wayve, and Pushmeet Kohli Vice President of Research at <a href="https://widgets.benzinga.com/topic/deepmind">Google DeepMind</a>, were confirmed to attend.
Some participants, though, expressed frustration about the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/14/uk-international-investment-summit-labour-woos-new-business-to-britain.html">lack of information surrounding the summit</a>, CNBC reported. Many multinational executives and tech leaders declined to attend or weren't invited. The Financial Times partly attributed the summit&#8217;s turnout to <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20241014-starmer-vows-to-cut-red-tape-as-he-urges-foreign-investors-to-back-uk">concerns over its &#8220;quality and organization</a>."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">UK Summit Undermined By Musk Controversy</h3>
Critics have also questioned the Labour Party's decision not to invite billionaire Elon Musk to the UK summit.&nbsp;
"Extraordinary failure by the UK government to exclude @elonmusk&nbsp; from the UK Business Summit," James McMurdock, a Reform UK MP, wrote on X. "His absence is a blow to Britain's future and growth potential. We should be engaging with global innovators, not sidelining them."
Technology Secretary <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/peter-kyle">Peter Kyle</a> denied Musk had been snubbed. But British Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds failed to provide a clear answer as to why Musk wasn't invited.
"I am not going to comment on the reasons for any specific person," he said during an interview on SkyNews. "If people have an investment proposition for the UK, I will talk to them about it."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Musk Hits Back After UK Submit Snub</h3>
Musk hit back after not being invited. &#8220;I don't think anyone should go to the UK when they're releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts,&#8221; Musk posted on X.
He was apparently referring to the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/uknews/britain-hosts-an-international-investment-summit-and-denies-snubbing-elon-musk/ar-AA1seBzA">government's decision to release hundreds of inmates</a> — though not sex offenders — early because of overcrowded prisons, the Independent reported.
Musk has clashed with British officials about their crackdown on free speech.&nbsp;
The tech billionaire posted a comment on X saying that "Civil war is inevitable" in the UK.&nbsp;
Justice Minister Heidi Alexander said that using language such as "civil war" was unacceptable.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Avangrid added that it has been fighting since 2020 to gain approval of its merger with PNM, a merger that would bring over $300 million in benefits to PNM consumers and communities.
The two parties had obtained all the necessary regulatory approvals for the closing of the merger by the end of 2022, except the approval of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission.&nbsp;
Even at the end of 2023, there is no clear timing on the resolution of the court review of the New Mexico regulator&#39;s denial of the merger.
Avangrid will continue to focus on its growth opportunities, with over $9 billion in incremental capital projects secured during the pendency of the merger.
Developing new renewable energy projects, including powering Vineyard Wind, delivering over $5 billion in capital projects under its New York and Maine multi-year rate plans plus an incremental $2 billion in capital projects are in the pipeline for the company.
Avangrid reaffirmed its EPS and Adjusted EPS 2023 guidance of&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://s24.q4cdn.com/489945429/files/doc_financial/2023/q3/FINAL-Presentation-3Q-23.pdf" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">$1.90 - $2.10 and $2.20 - $2.35</a>&nbsp;respectively.
On February 6, 2024, PNM Resources plans to provide a financial update, including preliminary 2023 results, 2024 guidance, and the continued&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/01/n36446178/pnm-resources-announces-avangrid-termination-of-merger-agreement-schedules-financial-update" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">5% long-term earnings growth target.</a>
&quot;We are greatly disappointed with Avangrid&#39;s decision to terminate the merger agreement and its proposed benefits to our customers, communities and shareholders,&quot; said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources Chairman and CEO.
Price Action: PNM shares traded lower by 3.87% at $39.99 premarket Tuesday.
