Price Target

Baird Maintains Neutral on Harley-Davidson, Raises Price Target to $28

During its first quarter 2025 earnings presentation and in its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the "Company") estimated that incremental tariffs on products between China and the U.S. would cost the Company $75-$100 million in 2025.
 &nbsp;
Following the Joint Statement on U.S.-China Economic and Trade Meeting in Geneva issued today, the Company now expects a $45 million reduction in those tariffs for a total estimated cost of $30-$55 million in incremental tariffs on products between China and the U.S. in 2025. The Company's new expectation assumes that the incremental tariffs on products between China and the U.S. will be 30% from May 12, 2025 through August 12, 2025 and revert to 145% after the 90-day pause. If the tariff level remains at 30% for the remainder of 2025, we expect a $65 million reduction in the original incremental tariff estimate for a total estimated cost of $10-$35 million in incremental tariffs in 2025. If that $65 million reduction occurs, then the Company estimates the total impact of incremental tariffs worldwide would range from $65-$110 million in 2025.
 &nbsp;
Additionally, the Company now confirms that the HDFS transaction announced on the Company's first quarter 2025 earnings call is continuing to progress with multiple interested parties. The Company now expects to provide details of a transaction during its second quarter 2025 earnings presentation as it targets a transaction close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to Board approval.

The letter highlights:
<ul>
<li>In the face of one of the most challenging operating environments in Harley-Davidson's 120+-year history, the Company has outperformed its peers.</li>
<li>Each of Harley-Davidson's Director nominees is passionate about preserving Harley-Davidson's legacy and committed to supporting a successful leadership transition in line with governance best practices.
<ul>
<li>We believe the Directors targeted by H Partners are critical in choosing the next CEO to lead the Company, as they collectively bring deep institutional knowledge of Harley-Davidson, leadership experience with iconic brands, extensive expertise in manufacturing and engineering and track records of successful business transformation.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After three years with their own representative on the Board – during which time H Partners fully supported the current CEO, endorsed the Hardwire strategic plan and voted in favor of all Directors standing for reelection – H Partners has launched what we view to be a misleading campaign that puts shareholder value and the Company's long-term strategy and thoughtful succession plan all at risk.
<ul>
<li>H Partners' recent U-turn is not about protecting shareholders' interests, it's about getting their own way – seeking to gain control of an American icon after their preferred CEO candidate did not receive even bare majority support.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

'Harley-Davidson Sets the Record Straight on H Partners' Disingenuous and Harmful Claims'- Harley Davidson

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), calling it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RDDT/earnings">&#8220;very good&#8221; stock.</a>
On the earnings front, Reddit will release its first-quarter financial results after market close on Thursday, May 1. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at 2 cents per share on revenue of $370.12 million.
Cramer said he likes Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAM#NYSE">BAM</a>) and added, &#8220;Those guys are real good.&#8221;
Supporting his view, B of A Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler upgraded Brookfield Asset Management from Neutral to Buy on April 10 and maintained a price target of $65.
OneMain Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMF#NYSE">OMF</a>) is &#8220;too risky,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I want you to get out of that right now.&#8221;
OneMain Holdings will report its first-quarter results before the market opens on Tuesday, April 29.
When asked about Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOG#NYSE">HOG</a>), he said, &#8220;It doesn't have the sales that I really like, but I think you can bounce from here.&#8221;
Harley-Davidson will release its first-quarter financial results before the opening bell on Thursday, May 1.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Reddit shares gained 4.7% to settle at $112.25 on Thursday.</li>
<li>Brookfield Asset Management shares gained 3.6% to close at $52.43 during the session.</li>

Select Sector SPDR-Consumer Discretionary

XPOF

Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher after President Trump indicated tariffs against China will be lowered and trade tensions may de-escalate. Tariff concerns have weighed on the sector this year due to their expected impact on consumer spending.

Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher amid Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks about trade de-escalation with China, which may relieve potential cost pressures for the consumer and lead to an uptick in spending.

Keybanc analyst Noah Zatzkin analyzed the Leisure &amp; Performance Brands ahead of the first-quarter earnings.
The analyst remains cautious ahead of the first-quarter FY25 earnings, citing continued weakness in consumer demand across retail and leisure markets. 
Recent channel checks from February and March revealed sluggish conditions, prompting widespread estimate and price target reductions across the leisure sector.

Concerns have intensified due to recent tariff policy uncertainty, which is expected to further dampen demand, especially for big-ticket discretionary items, said the analyst.
To account for this shifting landscape, the analyst reassessed risk related to tariffs, liquidity, leverage, and covenant exposure across the sector. 
While the situation remains fluid, current policies are expected to directly affect earnings and dampen overall demand. 
Most companies issued cautious and conservative first-quarter guidance, anticipating a slow start to the year.
Expecting many firms to revise or withdraw forward guidance due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff concerns, Zatzkin adds.
Estimates for the following stocks were revised downward: Brunswick Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BC#NYSE">BC</a>), Acushnet Holdings Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLF#NYSE">GOLF</a>), Garmin Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRMN#NYSE">GRMN</a>), Harley-Davidson Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOG#NYSE">HOG</a>), Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MODG#NYSE">MODG</a>), OneWater Marine Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEW#NASDAQ">ONEW</a>), and Polaris Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PII#NYSE">PII</a>).

Meanwhile, Yeti Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YETI#NYSE">YETI</a>) received an upgrade from Underweight to Sector Weight despite tariff risks, as lowered estimates are now better aligned with current market conditions.

The secretive company has raised at least $111 million in a Series A round to fund the creation of a two-seat electric pickup truck priced around $25,000, according to a<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1979776/000182224723000002/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml"> public filing</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Slate Auto Quietly Got Its Start Inside Re:Build Manufacturing</h2>
Slate Auto launched in 2022 inside Re:Build Manufacturing, a company connected to Bezos' network. It has been flying under the radar, quietly hiring hundreds of employees, many of whom have worked at Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), and Harley-Davidson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOG#NYSE">HOG</a>). Slate has also attracted other marquee investors, including Mark Walter, controlling owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Thomas Tull, an early investor in Re:Build Manufacturing, TechCrunch reported.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.</li>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
</ul>
The company's mission is ambitious. The anonymous sources cited by TechCrunch say Slate leaders often point to the Ford Model T and Volkswagen Beetle as inspiration, hoping to build a vehicle that could become a "first car" for many buyers.
Slate also aims to sell a line of accessories and apparel to go with the small margins of its low-cost truck, a strategy that will be familiar to Harley-Davidson and Jeep-maker Stellantis veterans, many of whom have now taken up residence in Slate's executive ranks.
Christine Barman, Slate's CEO, and a longtime Chrysler veteran, is leading the company with a steady hand. In an interview with<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suWI0mnXMk8&amp;ab_channel=careergirls"> Career Girls</a>, Barman reflected on her career path, saying, "I love the fact that I can take something from a concept and see it all the way through to production and then see it on the road."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Money Behind Slate Auto's $111 Million Fundraise</h2>
Slate's Series A fundraising included investments from Bezos' family office, overseen by Melinda Lewison, who is listed as a director in company filings. According to<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/08/inside-the-ev-startup-secretly-backed-by-jeff-bezos/"> TechCrunch</a>, the company has authorized hundreds of millions of preferred and common shares, hinting at even larger funding rounds ahead. Although specific amounts invested by Bezos have not been disclosed, documents show his direct participation with other wealthy individuals.
Slate plans to start production as soon as late 2026 at a facility near Indianapolis, according to<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/network-engineer-at-slate-4170199472/"> employment ads</a> and an<a href="https://uwalumni.com/news/the-electric-revolution-the-uw-now-livestream-looks-at-the-future-of-evs/"> interview with Executive Chairman Rodney Copes</a>. It remains unclear whether the company will build a new factory or repurpose an existing one.
The startup has also discreetly shown a proof-of-concept vehicle to investors at a rented design studio in Long Beach, California. With a marketing slogan already patented — "WE BUILT IT. YOU MAKE IT." — Slate points to an emphasis on customer personalization and aftermarket upgrades.
The timing is bold. The EV industry has cooled after years of explosive development, with many startups going bust and others hemorrhaging billions to stay alive. Instead of cloning Tesla's high-end-first model, Slate is inverting that script and aiming for the affordable market from the start.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slate Auto Is Tapping Into Amazon's Talent Playbook</h2>
Slate's DNA is intertwined with deep Amazon ties. In addition to Bezos' investment, the project is backed by former Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) executives, such as Diego Piacentini, according to<a href="https://viewdifferent.io/portfolio/re-car/"> his site</a>. Slate's e-commerce and digital teams are largely comprised of Amazon expats, and this only deepens the connection.
Instead of adopting the brashness typical of many buzzy EV start-ups, Slate is taking a more grounded approach. Re:Build Manufacturing's chief executive officer, Miles Arnone, is seen as Slate's founder. However, Slate is run by Barman, who has kept a low profile, focusing on developing a product that might silently disrupt the game.
Armed with deep pockets, top-tier automotive talent, and a different playbook, Slate Auto could be the stealth giant that revolutionizes the electric vehicle market.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOG#NYSE">HOG</a>), and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>).
Slate Auto has set a target of developing a &#8220;cheap&#8221; $25,000 single-cab EV truck, and plans to enter the production phase by late 2026.

As news of the Bezos-backed startup hit the wires, a post on social media platform Reddit in the r/whatisthiscar subreddit surfaced, which showcased what looked like a small EV truck in dark grey being transported on a flatbed truck. The truck features round headlights, upright B-pillars, and steel wheels.

It was later confirmed that the truck was Slate Auto's concept car. According to the report, the company is looking to manufacture its vehicles in a plant in Indianapolis, Indiana. The design of Slate Auto's concept car is somewhat reminiscent of the old-school Ford Ranger.
Why it matters: The news comes in at a time when the US auto sector is dealing with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44756759/new-research-shows-donald-trumps-25-tariffs-could-cost-auto-companies-108billion-report">25% import tariff</a> levied by the Donald Trump administration, much to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729157/michigan-auto-groups-criticize-trump-for-not-halting-auto-tariffs">criticism of stakeholders</a> within the auto industry.
Goldman Sachs analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44746593/goldman-sachs-hits-the-brakes-auto-tariffs-slumping-demand-may-shake-up-ford-tesla-rivian-lear-visteon">Mark Delaney forecasts</a> a difficult period for the auto sector in the U.S. due to the tariffs. Delaney pointed out that Rivian may face risks from reduced U.S. EV policy support.
EV trucks in the U.S. from the likes of Tesla, GM, Ford, and Rivian currently retail in the approximate price range of $47,000 &#8211; $105,000. However, a cheap EV truck would certainly broaden the sector's appeal and could potentially disrupt the segment as well.
EV companies are looking to release cheaper variants of their EV trucks in a bid to broaden the product&#8217;s appeal, with Tesla most recently releasing an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44755221/tesla-unveils-new-cybertruck-long-range-trim-with-a-362-mile-range-and-reduced-features">RWD, long-range variant</a> of its Cybertruck.
