Abstract generation in progress

As of the close on February 12, 2026, Harley-Davidson (HOG.N) stock price was $19.77, down 3.94% for the day, with an intraday range of 8.99%, and a trading volume of approximately $70.35 million. The stock has experienced significant fluctuations over the past three trading days, rising 3.97% on February 10 due to better-than-expected earnings, but then declining for two consecutive days, with a total decrease of 1.84%.

Recent Stock Performance

Full-year performance remains under pressure: For fiscal year 2025, revenue was $4.473 billion, down 13.76% year-over-year; net profit was $339 million, down 25.61%, reflecting weak overall demand. Although Q3 revenue increased 16.51% YoY and net profit surged 217.01%, this growth was partly driven by one-time gains from financial services, raising questions about sustainability.

Industry Policies and Environment

Market outlook for 2026 remains cautious: The company’s forecast for 2026, disclosed on February 11, was viewed as “weak” by the market. Despite an earnings beat in Q4, investors are more concerned about limited future growth momentum. On the same day, the US auto sector declined 2.39%, the S&P 500 fell 0.98%, and the Nasdaq dropped 1.46%, indicating a generally bearish industry sentiment and added pressure on individual stocks. Internal adjustments and external risks: Since the new CEO Artie Starrs took office in October 2025, he has emphasized inventory management and cost control, but global motorcycle retail sales declined 6% YoY, and ongoing tariff uncertainties continue to impact the supply chain.

Institutional Views

Among 18 recent institutions, 39% rate the stock as a buy or overweight, 56% recommend holding, with an average target price of $24.56 (about 24% above the current price). However, institutions also highlight the need to monitor the narrowing losses of the electric motorcycle brand LiveWire (which reduced operating losses by 30% in Q3) and the macroeconomic environment’s impact on consumer demand.
