Here's a look at some of the sectors and stocks that investors should be watching with Hurricane Milton on the way.
Hurricane Milton Update: According <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/map-hurricane-milton-path-forecast-status-track-rcna174203">to </a>NBC News, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane-milton">Hurricane Milton was downgraded </a>to a Category 4 storm on Wednesday morning. The hurricane is expected to make landfall Wednesday night and could hit some of Florida&#8217;s most populous areas, including the Tampa Bay area.
Evacuation orders are in place for multiple Florida counties with government officials warning that failure to follow the orders could lead to casualties.
With evacuations taking place, Florida service stations are running out of gas, and there are concerns about charging electric vehicles on evacuation routes.
The constant changes in the storm's path could have a major effect on the damage and potential casualties. A landfall in the Tampa Bay area is seen as the worst-case scenario for the hurricane, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-milton-florida-10-09-24/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.

Regional Banks: DA Davidson analyst Gary Tenner looked at the regional banks that could be most impacted by Hurricane Milton in a new investor note.
"Based on experience, we would expect the banks in the market to be impacted in multiple ways in the post-hurricane period, including a potential deposit boost related to insurance settlements, elevated near term expenses and provision, with lending opportunities related to rebuilding efforts,&#8221; Tenner said.
The analyst said banks in the Tampa and St. Petersburg areas could see near-term increased expenses but could see "positive offsets over the longer term."
Based on market share in the region, Tenner highlights the following regional banks:
<ul>
<li>Regions Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITB#NASDAQ">FITB</a>): Neutral rating</li>
<li>Synovus Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>SouthState Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSB#NYSE">SSB</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>Cadence Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CADE#NYSE">CADE</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>Hancock Whitney Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWC#NASDAQ">HWC</a>): Buy rating</li>
</ul>
Hospitals Impact: Hospital operators in the Florida region could be negatively impacted by Hurricane Milton and face IV shortages, RBC analyst Ben Hendrix said in a new investor note.
"Hospital operators traded slightly lower on Thursday, which we believe reflects at least in part weather-related concerns as Hurricane Milton moves toward Florida's west coast," Hendrix said.
The analyst said hospitals could see "some disruptions to facilities" in the coming days.
RBC highlights the following hospitals in the report:
<ul>
<li>Community Health Systems (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYH#NYSE">CYH</a>): Outperform rating</li>
<li>HCA Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>): Outperform rating</li>
<li>Tenet Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THC#NYSE">THC</a>): Outperform rating</li>
<li>Universal Health Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UHS#NYSE">UHS</a>): Sector Perform rating</li>
</ul>
"We believe HCA may be spared the worst of the storm damage with most of its hospital concentration in Central Florida located in the Tampa Bay area, which is north of the expected Sarasota landfall," Hendrix said.
Utilities Impact: Hurricane Milton could have a negative impact on utility stocks, Scotiabank analyst Andrew Weisel warned investors in a new note.
"While we remain bullish on U.S. utility fundamentals and valuations, we're growing somewhat cautious about investor sentiment, which had finally started to turn positive after years of negativity or indifference," Weisel said.
The analyst said they generally caution against trading around storms like Hurricane Milton.
"Rising hurricane activity is no doubt worrisome."
Weisel said the utility sector has several catalysts like rate cuts and the 2024 election, aside from the hurricane impact.
Top utility picks from Weisel are CMS Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMS#NYSE">CMS</a>), WEC Energy Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEC#NYSE">WEC</a>) and DTE Energy Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTE#NYSE">DTE</a>). After these three top picks, the analyst highlights Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNT#NASDAQ">LNT</a>) and American Electric Power Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>) as other favorable utility names. 
Weisel also said he would buy Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) because of its weakness ahead of Hurricane Milton.
"While outages often lead to lost revenues, slightly weighing on near-term earnings, the impacts are generally very modest," Weisel said.
Another major utility that could be impacted by Hurricane Milton is Tampa Electric, owned by Emera Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMRAF#OTC">EMRAF</a>). Serving the Tampa Bay area, Tampa Electric is particularly vulnerable to the storm&#8217;s effects.
Insurance Stocks: The insurance sector is one of the sectors most on watch for the damaging impact and cleanup aftermath from Hurricane Milton.
Insurance stocks like Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>), Progressive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>), Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) and Chubb (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) are among the large insurers that could be impacted.
RBC analyst Derald Goh, who covers European insurance stocks, shared a note on the potential damage from the hurricane.
"A potential $60bn industry loss from Hurricane Milton appears very manageable for a sector that is keen to demonstrate stronger earnings resiliency and should drive a re-rating," Goh said.
The $60 billion estimate comes as Hurricane Milton is expected to cause destruction similar to that caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022. Based on the estimated damage from that storm, the analyst considers this estimate the most reliable method for predicting the impact on insurance companies.
Goh said five hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. this season, and the previous average forecast was 12.
Leisure Sector: Hurricane Milton could also impact theme parks, with the state of Florida home to Disney World, owned by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), and Universal Studios Orlando, owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>).
Disney announced it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41245886/disney-world-closes-early-as-hurricane-milton-approaches-florida-parks-brace-for-impact">closing Disney World parks early </a>on Wednesday and transportation services could remain limited, with a plan to re-open on Thursday. The storm may have scared away a large amount of tourists. Goldman Sachs recently said Disney could see a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41229099/disney-faces-150m-200m-blow-from-hurricane-milton-attendance-set-to-drop-6-says-goldman-sac"> $150 million to $200 million</a> negative impact from Hurricane Milton.
Morgan Stanley analyst Megan Alexander sees Hurricane Milton having a negative impact on fitness centers Planet Fitness (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>) and Life Time Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTH#NYSE">LTH</a>) and indoor golf facility company Topgolf Callaway Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MODG#NYSE">MODG</a>).
"Overall, PLNT appears to be the most exposed across our coverage particularly given the concentration of corporate locations in the state," Alexander said.
The analyst, who has an Overweight rating and a $84 price target on Planet Fitness, said Florida represents around 25% of corporate-owned locations. Store closures could negatively impact new membership additions, but Alexander added that the monthly membership fee revenue model could insulate the company from a negative impact.
The analyst sees Life Time Group, rated Equal Weight with a $21 price target, having a minimal impact with only five locations in Florida, which is less than 3% of total locations.
Alexander said Topgolf has nine locations in Florida, with five currently closed due to Hurricane Milton. The analyst, who has an Underweight rating and a $10 price target on the stock, said Topgolf will likely see a minimal impact unless locations have severe storm damage and have to be closed for an extended time period.

Hurricane Milton Descends On Florida: Analysts Warn Of Impact On Disney, NextEra's Florida Power & Light, Regional Banks

Barclays analyst Nicholas Campanella maintains DTE Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTE#NYSE">DTE</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $128 to $137.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on DTE Energy, Raises Price Target to $137

Utility companies&mdash;those that provide electricity, water, natural gas, and other essential services for residential and commercial customers&mdash;have had a banner year. The benchmark Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (ARCA: XLU) has climbed by about 31% in the last year, with the bulk of those gains having occurred in the last six months.
Many investors have flocked to utility stocks in recent months in anticipation of the Federal Reserve&#39;s first rate cut in several years, which was confirmed at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting in September. With inflation dropping and a cooling jobs market, cautious investors unsure of the impact of the rate cut seek out utility stocks for their defensive capabilities.
Because of their essential nature, utility stocks tend to remain steady even in times of market turmoil. Many also have a strong history of paying out dividends. However, the rapid rise of the AI industry has prompted a surge in electricity demand, with Goldman Sachs estimating data center power demand will grow by 160% through 2030. This marks a major boon for many utility firms as well.
<h2>DTE: Strong Financial Position, Infrastructure Investment</h2>
DTE Energy Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dte#NYSE">DTE</a>) provides electricity and gas service to customers in Michigan and conducts an energy trading business. Despite its limited geographical range, DTE&#39;s target area is fast-growing, and demand for power is increasing alongside rapid population and economic growth.
DTE maintains a solid financial position, with operating EPS climbing by 44.4% year-over-year in the most recent quarter, driven by its electricity business. Analysts expect earnings growth to continue, and the company also offers an impressive 15-year history of dividend increases and a solid dividend yield of 3.23%.
This firm is also expanding strategically in terms of its preexisting electricity and gas infrastructure&mdash;it has already invested $2 billion in this area this year, with at least another $2 billion to come by the end of the year&mdash;and in a burgeoning solar operation. The company broke ground in September on a solar farm that is expected to generate power for 40,000 homes.
<h2>PCG: Well-Positioned for Data Center Demand Increase</h2>
PG&amp;E Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pcg#NYSE">PCG</a>) serves the northern and central regions of California, traditionally a hotspot for tech firms and data center demand. Indeed, in a June investor update, the company noted that data center capacity totaling 3.5GW&mdash;enough to power about three million homes&mdash;is due to come online by 2030.
Between 2023 and 2040, PG&amp;E expects its overall load to grow by 2-4%, with about half of that coming from data center usage.
Coupled with the anticipated increase in demand is PG&amp;E&#39;s relative undervaluing compared with other utility companies. The firm has a forward P/E ratio of 14.6, and analysts have noted an average price target of $21.55, which is almost 9% higher than the current share price.
Together, this makes PG&amp;E both a strong defensive play in case of market upheaval as well as a strategic bet on the growth of AI and cloud computing needs.
<h2>VST: Deserving of the Hype?</h2>
Vistra Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vst#NYSE">VST</a>) has drawn attention this year as the top-performing stock in the S&amp;P 500, beating out even the likes of chip manufacturing super-stock NVIDIA Corp. with 1-year returns of nearly 250%. Despite this massive rally, many analysts still rate Vistra as a &quot;Buy,&quot; seeing room for additional growth based on the strength of data center demand and the company&#39;s acquisition history.
Vistra serves electricity and natural gas customers across the U.S. It is positioned to benefit from growing electricity demand among data center operators through its growing nuclear business.
Vistra recently completed the acquisition of its remaining 15% non-controlling interest in Vistra Vision, its nuclear generation, energy storage, and renewables subsidiary.
With firms like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ceg#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) planning to focus on nuclear energy to meet data center demand, Vistra&#39;s acquisition sets it up to thrive in this space.
<h2>Buy-and-Hold Opportunity</h2>
Utility stocks like those above represent a buy-and-hold opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on dividends for passive income. Entering positions in utility stocks now may also provide investors access to firms on the cusp of major growth thanks to a wave of new demand requests for electricity to power a fast-growing AI industry.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Pampa Energia&#39;s 2024 earnings per share has moved up 20.6% to $9.54 in the past 60 days.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 sales is pinned at $1.88 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 8.5%.
The company delivered an average earnings surprise of 62% in the past four quarters.
<h2>PAM&#39;s Return on Equity (ROE)</h2>
ROE indicates how efficiently a company has been utilizing its funds to generate higher returns. Currently, Pampa Energia&#39;s ROE is 12.59%, higher than the industry&#39;s average of 10.34%. This indicates that the company has been utilizing its shareholders&#39; funds more constructively (to generate income) than its peers in the electric power utility industry.
<h2>PAM&#39;s Debt Position</h2>
Currently, PAM&#39;s total debt to capital is 34.73%, better than the industry&#39;s average of 60.86%.
The time-to-interest earned ratio at the end of the second quarter of 2024 was 2.8. The ratio, being greater than one, reflects the company&#39;s ability to meet future interest obligations without difficulties.
<h2>PAM&#39;s Liquidity</h2>
Its current ratio of 2.33 is better than the industry&#39;s average of 0.85. A current ratio greater than one indicates that the company has enough short-term assets to liquidate for covering all short-term liabilities, if necessary.
<h2>PAM&#39;s Focus on Clean Power Generation</h2>
Since 2018, Pampa Energia has been actively developing wind energy, establishing itself as one of Argentina&#39;s leading renewable energy companies. It continues to add more renewable power through inorganic growth and development of MAT ER projects. During the second quarter of 2024, the company&#39;s net power generation was 5,067 gigawatt-hour, including hydro, wind and thermal.
Its PEPE VI project is expected to add 140 megawatts&nbsp;of wind power. The total completion is expected by October 2024. PAM&#39;s investment of more than $250 million should bring its total installed wind power capacity to 427 MW, positioning it as one of the country&#39;s leading renewable power producers.
<h2>PAM&#39;s Stock Price Performance</h2>
In the past three months, Pampa Energia&#39;s shares have risen 31% compared with the industry&#39;s 12% growth.
