屋顶业务

    桑迪飓风抵达的前几天，屋顶材料提供商欧文斯-科宁（Owens Corning）的业务骤减，因为市场需求下降。上上周，该公司宣布第三季度收益骤减65%后，投资者开始抛售该股，结果造成股价暴跌。

    但在上周一晚间飓风肆虐过后，华尔街改变了对这家公司的看法，因为美国东北部的很多屋顶都被桑迪每小时90英里的狂风吹走了。上周三，欧文斯-科宁的股价攀升了近7%，抹去了业绩报告发布以来的一大部分跌幅。

Roofing businesses

    Just a few days before Sandy hit, Owens Corning roofing company was reeling, as demand for its materials sank. Last week, investors sent its shares tumbling after it announced that third quarter earnings were down 65%.

    In the wake of Monday night's devastation, though, Wall Street changed its mind on the company, as roofs across the Northeast were all but swept away by Sandy's 90 mph winds. On Wednesday, Owens Corning's stock climbed nearly 7%, erasing much of the losses following its earnings report.
