Thesis
With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season forecasted to be above average, following the destructive 2024 season, there is an anticipated surge in demand for logistics and storage solutions. Companies like XPO, CHRW, WSC, and PSA are poised to benefit from increased needs for freight rerouting, temporary storage, and supply chain resilience.

The 2025 season is expected to have 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, indicating continued high demand for logistics services .
Logistics companies are preparing for increased disruptions, with strategies to mitigate cascading effects across supply chains .
Bear case
A shift to El Niño conditions could suppress hurricane activity, reducing the anticipated demand for logistics and storage services.
