HOGThe company shows solid fundamentals with reasonable valuation and strong free cash flow, but its declining share price performance and mixed technical signals suggest caution. Suitable for income investors with a moderate risk tolerance.
Harley-Davidson benefits from a strong brand legacy and growing electric motorcycle segment (LiveWire), aligning with shifting consumer trends towards electrification, but faces challenges from regulatory pressures and competitive innovation.
