Costco、沃尔玛和Target

    摩根大通分析师们表示，在桑迪飓风到来之前，沃尔玛（Wal-Mart）、好市多（Costco）和塔吉特（Target）的食品和其他飓风必备品的销售可能也会显著增长。，气象咨询公司Planalytics的高级副总裁伊文•戈德表示，另一个好处可能是消费者会越来越注重价格，因为其他飓风相关支出增加了家庭开支压力。

    但分析师们称，利好可能有限，因为有些门店被迫关闭，而且桑迪过后的购买需求会下降。

Costco, Wal-Mart and Target

    Analysts at JP Morgan say Wal-Mart, Costco, and Target likely saw a significant spike in sales of food and other hurricane supplies in the days before Sandy. An added benefit may be that consumers increasingly favor cost-cutters as other storm-related expenses burden household budgets, says Evan Gold, a senior vice president at weather consulting firm Planalytics.

    Analysts say gains could be limited, though, as some stores are forced to close, and because of a lack of post-Sandy buying.
