0811 ET - It's shaping up to be one of the harshest winters in recent memory, but that bodes well for companies Douglas Dynamics, Toro and Aebi Schmidt Group, Davidson analysts say in a research note. Higher-than-average snowfall across the U.S. is creating near-term demand for products such as snowplows, de-icing equipment and snow-management solutions, they say. Douglas, Toro and Aebi all stand to benefit from the increased demand, with snow-related businesses accounting for over half of Douglas' annual adjusted Ebitda, and about 15% of Toro's and Aebi's annual adjusted Ebitda. These companies were already well positioned, the analysts say, with increased snowfall adding an additional cherry on top. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
