Quote: Regarding the "boosting sales" part, again, I think that Polaris should concentrate on their Victory line which seems to have shrunk by over half in the last five years, before playing around with niche products (unless they have a spectacular strategy in mind ... something I would be inclined to doubt).
Let's see... Polaris stock was selling for around $25/share 2 years ago. It closed around $91 yesterday. As of this writing it is around $106. Not bad in a global recession!
Victory sales are way up. Here are some financial highlights from PII.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS . Symbol Value ($) Sales* 1.99 Bil Income* 147.14 Mil Sales Growth* +27.20% Income Growth* +45.70% Net Profit Margin 7.39%
Polaris is a smart, progressive, successful company. The acquisition of Indian was not done on a whim.
