Oppenheimer analyst Brian Nagel notes that the final tally of damages left behind by recent hurricanes is unlikely to be known for some time, and envisions a long and arduous period of cleanup and rebuilding across impacted regions. Nagel believes a collection of Hardlines names are particularly well positioned to capitalize upon a potential strengthening in underlying demand trends, including the leading home centers Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW), Lumber Liquidators (LL), Tractor Supply (TSCO), CarMax (KMX), and the auto parts chains AutoZone (AZO), O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY), Advance Auto Parts (AAP). Costco (COST) likely benefited as households stocked up on products ahead of storms, he adds.
