Company Report

Innovation and Dealer Satisfaction Are Key Factors in Resurrecting Harley's Demand and Profit Growth

We lowered Harley-Davidson’s moat to narrow from wide in 2024. We still see brand equity stemming from a long history of innovation, manufacturing experience, and a dealer network that has given Harley a dominant position in the US motorcycle market. However, we think its brand intangible advantage has declined in recent years, lowering our conviction in Harley’s ability to maintain market share and restore historical operating margin metrics, resulting in more tepid economic profits ahead.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Harley-Davidson's brand is more than 120 years old and resonates globally with a wide consumer base, particularly its core market (men older than 35). Successful efforts to connect with its core consumer could lead to a unit demand uptick faster than we anticipate.

Bears

Harley's traditional focus on heavyweight bikes could reduce the demand for the firm's products as consumer preferences shift to other types of bike products. To mitigate the lost revenue from this consumer, less profitable opportunities may be pursued.
