Yeah 2021 was the best year for snowmobile sales in the past decade. So more people riding.

Which we can't complain about too many people riding when most this website is full of doom and gloom and claim this is a dying sport. I'm sure this year the quitters quit. Lol

You would really need to look at registrations/trail passes on a State-by-State basis.

But most posters seem to be upset about the pricing, while the manufacturers being publicly-traded have to release results.
Polaris is down almost 16% on its stock price in a bull market... so really off the pace.
How long can it hold off Honda without moving resources to compete? No one really knows.

So who owns Polaris stock on here ? I was tempted to buy a few years ago but it sure looks to not be a good investment right now. What's the forecast for them ? Anyone following ?

it's only going to get worse for polaris. there recalls are killing them. and most of these recalls haven't fixed the issue's. there still having RZR fires, and the fuel tank recall didn't fix the issue? they can't keep going like this.

Might be a better time to buy depending on how you look at it.

They are fine, the stuff they build is still the most fun and reliable enough.

A great economy can't overcome poor management or a dying market.
Businesses that have management that position themselves for growth are doing very well... and are seeing higher stock prices for that factor.
It is why Yamaha Motors is up 12%

I'm 43 and Polaris has been crap my whole life. If their stock is down 38% currently that's called a sale folks and if you want to make money you buy low and sell high.

If only knowing when it's a low or high sure would make it much easier. Is this low a new high or is that high a new low?

Its only a sale if the management can project why the numbers should turn around.
Telling investors that profits were terrible, but if you remove snowmobile results profits were pronouncedly better doesn't really entice investors.
It simply makes them beg to question... why are you still building snowmobiles?

I was seriously looking at a nice deal on a Polaris SXS…2024 8k off from the beginning of spring ! Sales guy was great and I don’t like sales people. Told me all the real world issues and recalls on many of them including the model I was interested in… I walked away. Was trying to invest in the perfect time to make more memories with my grand children but I find other ways I guess

Sleds are such a small portion of Polaris and they aren’t going to stop building them. Polaris probably knows that they will be one of two snowmobile manufacturers in the near future and they are not going to give that opportunity up.

That small part of their business is causing massive enough losses to take down the rest.

Pre pandemic polaris stock was under 100.00 peaked @ 145.00....I don't think polaris's valuation should be at pre-pandemic numbers. Surely they will recover once they write down the losses on leftover inventory.

No one here knows if they are on the red with snowmobiles. And I doubt they are. Here's the thing about today's world. There is one less manufacture to compete with. And those sleds were expensive.

there laying off people. that and there falling stock should tell you they are heading for a fall. they can't sell there ATV'S/UTV'S here in N.H or on the east coast. people know there a POS now and it's killing them. Honda, Yamaha, and Can-am have cut into them terribly lately. the dealer down the street from me has a whole bunch of Polaris RZR'S they can't sell even at a discount. they can't get enough Honda side by sides, they have a waiting list with guys who put money down on them. look up the Ranger,RZR recalls. the other mfg have less recall's combined. i know guys that have more mileage bring there pos back to dealers for recalls then miles on the trail? if they don't start making a better product they will be gone. i can't believe they can find a insurace company that would insure them? they still have multi million dollar law suits hanging over them? WTF

At the moment I own 2 Polaris XP 1000 ATV's (2015 & 2016) I use them almost every day all year long and plow snow with them, bought them brand new.. and I have 1 Polaris XP 1000 RZR, they have all been trouble free except 1 starter on 1 ATV and tires. Have also owned a 325 Trail Boss (wifes), an 500 ATV, a 700 ATV, a 800 ATV, and an 850 ATV.
Dealer near me sells and rents 100's of Polaris sleds and wheelers also sells CanAms.
Here's some pics of ATVs I've had and some pics of what I have now. 2 of the 4 on the lake plowing our drag strip are mine and 1 is my daughters Polaris.
We have 1000's of miles of inter-connecting trails to ride on and all of this Counties roads are also open to wheelers.
