Investors looking for ways to take advantage of this harsh winter’s heavy snowfall could consider buying Douglas Dynamics stock, prosecutor Davidson said. The investment firm revealed its top three ways to cope with the ongoing cold snap in a note Friday. Analyst Michael Schlisky said the current snowfall in the Northeast is at or above normal and well ahead of last year. Meanwhile, the Midwest appears to be experiencing its harshest winter in a decade. “In the Northeast, major cities averaged about 6 inches of snow in December, slightly above the long-term average and triple the amount from last year,” he wrote. “In the Midwest, where winter is in full swing by December, the average large city received 12.8 inches of snow in December, more than three times as much as last year and the most since 2013-2014.” This continued cold snap has been a boon for stocks like Douglas Dynamics, which makes snow blowers and other de-icing equipment. The stock has increased 38% in the past 12 months. Shlisky noted that the Northeast is the most important region for Douglas Dynamics. “This winter appears to be off to a strong start. Our underlying calculations suggest that Attachment’s normalized EBITDA could be approximately $84 million. Our current estimate for 2026 is approximately $59 million.” “Combined with the first expansion of non-snow and ice M&A in over a decade, this lays the foundation for a significant upside from here.” Plow 1Y Mountain Douglas Dynamics Stock Price Over the Past Year Schlisky is similarly bullish on Toro, which makes and maintains snow and ice management equipment. The analyst said he plans to meet with management and may update his forecast after that meeting. “The company is performing well in the golf, underground construction and snow segments, as well as favorable weather conditions in the residential and landscape/grounds segments. Combined with continued cost containment efforts, the company appears poised to exceed expectations in FY26,” he wrote. Toro’s stock price has increased less than 1% over the past 12 months. Similarly, analysts highlighted Swiss machinery manufacturer Ebi-Schmidt. Since going public in July last year, the stock price has increased 13%. Schlisky noted that the current consensus forecast for EBITDA growth of over 20% next year could be conservative. “Management has already mentioned expectations for internal growth in 2026. In addition to favorable regional snow trends, a return to growth for The Final Mile appears imminent, with operations such as the airport already scheduled for 2026,” he said.
