As concerns over the Iran war recede, stock investors are confronting another threat: climate risk, which is prompting a reassessment of bets across sectors from agriculture to insurance.<\/p>\n
A high probability of a \u201cSuper El?Ni\u00f1o\u201d heading into 2027 may drive up temperatures in some parts of the world, sending power demand surging, hurting crop yields and reigniting inflationary pressures. That could complicate the outlook for central banks, posing a risk to global equities trading near record highs.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl Ni\u00f1o arrives at an especially sensitive moment,\u201d said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. \u201cThe global economy is still adjusting to the inflationary consequences of the Iran conflict, while supply chains remain vulnerable following months of disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

El Ni\u00f1o is a weather pattern that occurs with sustained warming of Pacific Ocean surface temperatures. This can lead to patterns of high and low pressure that translate into excessive rains in some parts of the world and drought in others. There\u2019s a 63% chance it could evolve into a very strong event \u2013 what\u2019s informally known as a \u201cSuper El Ni\u00f1o\u201d \u2013 heading into 2027, according to the US Climate Prediction Center.<\/p>\n
The impact is already being felt across various regions, from a delayed start to the Indian monsoon to a temporary halt to Peru\u2019s fishing season. The last time the world faced such a strong El Ni\u00f1o, in 2015 and 2016, the result was more than $7.8 trillion in lost productivity, based on a Dartmouth College study.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at some of the sectors closely watched by investors as El Ni\u00f1o risks build.<\/p>\n
Agriculture And Aquaculture<\/span><\/h3>\nCrop producers are likely to bear the brunt of a stronger El Ni\u00f1o, though the impact will vary across regions and commodities. In Indonesia, the world\u2019s largest palm oil producer, hotter and drier weather typically reduces yields, clouding the outlook for plantation earnings and adding pressure to local stocks already weighed down by concerns over Indonesia\u2019s market-classification status and move to centralise key commodity shipments.<\/p>\n

Global production of corn and wheat may also be negatively affected by the weather phenomenon, according to UBS Group AG, as well as sugar output in Asia. India, the world\u2019s second-largest sugar producer, has banned exports until the end of September, dragging shares of millers such as Shree Renuka Sugars and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, improved rainfall in Argentina and higher sugar prices may benefit some Latin American firms including S\u00e3o Martinho and Adecoagro SA, according to Morgan Stanley. El Ni\u00f1o has also been globally supportive for soybean output, particularly for major producers in the US and the south of Brazil, UBS analysts said.<\/p>\n
Investors may also find opportunities in companies tied to irrigation and water management as farmers cope with drier conditions. Indian firms, including VA Tech Wabag Ltd, Jain Irrigation Systems, Astral and Shakti Pumps India, may benefit.<\/p>\n
Berenberg chemicals analyst Sebastian Bray highlighted fish oil producers as a potential beneficiary. With Peruvian fish oil prices hitting record highs over the last two months, Bray noted this trend favours producers of Omega-3-rich algal oils, such as Europe\u2019s Corbion NV.<\/p>\n
Fertilisers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nFertiliser firms could be among the biggest beneficiaries of El Ni\u00f1o if the weather pattern tightens global crop supplies, supporting demand for key nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll else equal on idiosyncratic and other issues, to play a Super El Ni\u00f1o event, we would seek to maximise exposure to short-cycle, price-responsive nitrogen names,\u201d Scotia Capital Inc. analyst Ben Isaacson wrote in a note.<\/p>\n
Nitrogen fertiliser stocks like CF Industries Holdings and Nutrien are set to benefit.<\/p>\n

Still, dryness from El Ni\u00f1o has started to slow demand for potash, according to RBC Capital Markets analyst Andrew Wong. In a worsening environment, potash-heavy stocks like The Mosaic Co could be disadvantaged.<\/p>\n
Suppliers of agricultural inputs could also see demand rise as farmers seek ways to offset weather-related losses. That may support shares of crop protection players such as US-based Corteva Inc.<\/p>\n
\u201cLower yields could force farmers to pay up for technology (seed) and potentially even crop protection chemicals to maintain crop income,\u201d RBC Capital Markets analyst Arun Viswanathan wrote in a note.<\/p>\n
Energy<\/span><\/h3>\nHigher temperatures may lead to reduced heating demand in North America, which could weigh on natural gas stocks such as APA Corp, EQT Corp, Range Resources Corp and EOG Resources Inc.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll signs point to a rare El Ni\u00f1o event emerging, creating cooler summer and warmer winter temperatures in the US and thus a bearish natural gas demand environment,\u201d Truist Securities Inc. analyst Gabe Daoud wrote in a note.<\/p>\n
In Asia, higher-than-normal temperatures will boost air-conditioning use and strain power grids when energy prices are already elevated. Chinese power firms, including Guangdong Electric Power Development Co. and Jinneng Holding Shanxi Electric Power, have made strong gains this year, with the latter rising 64%. In India, companies including JSW Energy Ltd. and Adani Energy Solutions are among firms that may benefit from the energy demand surge, according to Jefferies Financial Group Inc. analysts.<\/p>\n
Mining\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nHeavier rainfall in parts of South America can disrupt transportation networks and potentially affect mining operations, including copper production in Chile and Peru, Saxo\u2019s Hansen said. That would have knock-on effects for metals and manufacturing stocks amid disruption in supply chains, input costs and operating conditions these sectors rely on.<\/p>\n
Copper miners with operations in Chile and Peru that may come in focus include Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and Anglo American Plc.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, power constraints can hit hydropower-dependent aluminium smelting in regions such as China.<\/p>\n

In Indonesia, UBS estimated that economic growth may fall 1% as a result of El Ni\u00f1o after four quarters, as drought damages agriculture and mining. That may put PT Amman Mineral Internasional and PT Merdeka Copper Gold on investors\u2019 radar.<\/p>\n
Insurance, Financials\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nThe hurricane-weakening effects of El Ni\u00f1o may be positive for property and casualty insurers in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis potentially helps insurers in hurricane-prone regions like Florida,\u201d said Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matthew Palazola. \u201cThat market is dominated by private mutuals and smaller regionals, though Allstate is a large public carrier in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Piper Sandler & Co.\u2019s Paul Newsome reiterated benefits for insurance firms, saying \u201cmost US-based insurers will benefit from lower claim expense because US hurricanes are a major source of claim costs.\u201d Companies such as Allstate Corp, Progressive Corp, and Travelers will likely benefit, he said.<\/p>\n
The outlook for the broader financial sector may be less straightforward, with banks exposed to weather-sensitive industries likely to take a hit.<\/p>\n
JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts including Yuri Fernandes see negative impacts for Peruvian lenders, given the weather pattern\u2019s ability to disrupt loans tied to fishing and agriculture activity. The bank downgraded shares of Credicorp Ltd. and Intercorp Financial Services on El Ni\u00f1o headwinds and political-transition noise tied to Peru\u2019s election.<\/p>\n
Micro lenders in India, including Bandhan Bank, may also be affected as a weaker monsoon may reduce crop output and farm earnings.<\/p>\n
