A massive power outage that struck Spain, Portugal, and parts of France on Monday may have exposed vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, raising investor interest in companies focused on cybersecurity, energy resilience, and backup power — even though their stocks aren&#8217;t yet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybersecurity">moving on the news</a>.
What To Know: The blackout, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45038430/massive-power-outages-hit-spain-portugal-snarling-travel-investigations-into-cause-underway">paralyzed major cities</a> like Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona, disrupted traffic lights, halted airports and train stations and plunged metro systems into darkness. 
Early reports suggest a failure in a high-voltage interconnector between France and Spain, possibly caused by a fire or cyberattack, may have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45038430/massive-power-outages-hit-spain-portugal-snarling-travel-investigations-into-cause-underway">triggered</a> the event.

With full restoration expected to take hours or longer, the incident underscores how fragile interconnected energy grids can be — and how vital protection and backup solutions are becoming.
This is where companies like Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), Fluence Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLNC#NASDAQ">FLNC</a>), and Generac Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) could come into focus. 
<ul>
<li>Palo Alto, a leader in cybersecurity, could benefit if the outage investigation confirms cyber vulnerabilities. </li>
<li>Fluence Energy, which specializes in grid-scale energy storage, could gain from increased investment in grid resiliency and modernization. </li>
<li>Generac, a key supplier of backup power generators, also stands to profit if businesses and homeowners rethink their energy contingency plans.</li>
</ul>
While these respective stocks did not react sharply following the outage, demand for stronger grid defenses, energy storage and backup systems could accelerate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PANW Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Palo Alto Networks&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PANW has a 52-week high of $208.39 and a 52-week low of $142.00

10 Analysts Assess Generac Hldgs: What You Need To Know

Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday. Bank of America Securities analyst Dimple Gosai reinstated the company with a Buy rating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gnrc/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and a price forecast of $182</a>.
The backup power manufacturer is well-positioned to capitalize on worsening weather disasters and declining grid reliability, Gosai says.
With billion-dollar weather events now averaging 23 per year (nearly double the rate of the 2010s), key markets like Texas, Florida, and California remain underpenetrated, representing about 25% of the company&#8217;s total addressable market, adds the analyst.

In particular, the analyst sees the company&#8217;s smart home energy tech, led by Ecobee and storage, as a growth driver.
The analyst expects the over-65 population to reach 82 million by 2030 (vs. 58 million in 2022). This increases the need for reliable power among retirees who depend on medical devices and refrigerated medications.
While Baby Boomers continue to be the primary buyers of home standby generators, demand is growing among Gen X and older Millennials, who value backup power for home security, extreme weather protection, and remote work, adds the analyst.
Additionally, Gosai says that the steady population growth in power outage-prone states like Texas and Florida (1.6%-1.7% annually) highlights the rising demand for resilient energy solutions.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via AdvisorShares Trust AdvisorShares HVAC and Industrials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HVAC#NYSE">HVAC</a>) and Macquarie ETF Trust Macquarie Energy Transition ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PWER#NYSE">PWER</a>).
Price Action: GNRC shares are up 4.15% at $136.97 at the last check Monday.
