As you read on, you will see how this evolving price target narrative can help you track the next phase of the Harley-Davidson story.
What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Citi has moved from years of caution to a more positive stance on Harley-Davidson, upgrading the stock in early October and then lifting its price target again to US$37, citing changing conditions and what it sees as a meaningful cost savings story with possible earnings support from LiveWire.
-
DA Davidson raised its target to US$33 after Q2 results and a guidance update, highlighting management progress with the Back to Bricks plan and reporting better dealer productivity and sentiment toward Harley-Davidson.
-
Baird increased its target to US$32 and noted that results point to a turnaround that is building momentum, which supports the cluster of recent targets in the low to mid US$30s.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Morgan Stanley lifted its target only modestly to US$19 and kept an Underweight rating, which anchors the lower end of the current range and underscores ongoing concerns about valuation and execution risk for Harley-Davidson.
-
Several firms including UBS and earlier Citi and Baird reports maintain Neutral ratings despite higher targets, which signals that some analysts see progress already reflected in the stock with less conviction around further upside.
