Wedbush’s James Hardiman maintained a Neutral rating on Harley-Davidson with a price target of $35.
The Thesis
Harley-Davidson posted GAAP EPS at $1.23. Although this came in modestly higher than the Street’s expectation of $1.20, it was 7 cents lower than Wedbush’s estimate of $1.30.
The company’s domestic retail sales declined by a worse-than-anticipated 8%. This was “particularly disappointing” since there had been signs of growth in March, Hardiman commented.

Harley-Davidson lowered its 2019 shipment guidance to a range of -5% to -7% versus its previous projection of -3% to -5%. The GAAP operating margin guidance was also reduced to 6%-7%, from 8%-9%.
The analyst reduced the 2019 non-GAAP estimate by 45 cents and the GAAP estimate by 38 cents, reflecting the effects of tariffs and restructuring costs.
