    Going private?

    Really?

    Tough times for HOG or is it just a way of properly valuing it?

    Harley-Davidson Slashes Shipment Guidance; Stock Plunges

    Harley-Davidson (HOG) shares are going sharply into reverse early Tuesday after the iconic motorcycle maker slashed shipment guidance.

    Harley now expects to ship 241,000 to 246,000 motorcycles to dealers this year, a 6% to 8% decline. That marks a cut from prior outlook for flat to a modest drop in shipments.

    Operating margin for the year is now seen declining about 1% vs. previously announced guidance for in-line margins vs. 2016.

    Harley Gains as Reduced Profits Still Beat Analysts’ Estimates

    (Bloomberg) -- Harley-Davidson Inc. overcame higher tariff costs to post better-than-expected profit, but its business is once again the subject of President Donald Trump’s tweets.

    While adjusted net income fell by 26 percent in the first quarter, the slump was less severe than Wall Street feared. Excluding costs of restructuring, tariffs and other factors, the motorcycle maker posted earnings of 98 cents a share, beating analysts’ average estimate for 85 cents.

    Harley’s approach to mitigating the impact of higher tariffs implemented by the European Union landed the iconic American company in Trump’s doghouse last year. With the EU putting a 31 percent tax on U.S.-built motorcycles as retaliation for the president’s steel and aluminum levies, the manufacturer said it would shift some production overseas.

    Rather than attack Harley, as he did throughout 2018, Trump aimed his ire at the EU shortly after the Milwaukee-based company reported earnings Tuesday. In a tweet, the president called the bloc’s tariffs “so unfair” to the U.S. and threatened retaliation.
