The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance: negative gross profit, very large operating losses, sustained cash burn, and elevated leverage with a thin equity cushion. Technicals are also soft with a negative MACD and price far below the 200-day average, offering limited trend support. Valuation provides little help due to negative earnings and no dividend yield, while the NYSE compliance notice adds an additional capital-markets risk overhang.
Positive Factors
Revenue Growth
TTM revenue rose 11.56% to $31.3M, showing that product demand and distribution are generating measurable top-line expansion. Sustained growth is an important foundation for absorbing fixed costs, improving scale, and building a viable electric-motorcycle business.
Negative Factors
Negative Gross Profit and Large Losses
Negative gross profit means aggregate vehicle economics currently do not cover product costs, while EBIT of -$72.2M and net income of -$73.4M show substantial operating burden. Without durable gross-margin improvement, revenue growth may increase losses rather than create operating leverage.

LiveWire Group Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 05, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 22, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Negative
The call presented a mixed picture: solid retail momentum (North America +14%, global +8), inventory normalization (-22% dealer inventory) and a clear strategic plan with cost-savings targets, product reintroductions (Sportster, Sprint) and P&A growth opportunities provide a constructive medium-term outlook. However, near-term financials are challenged — consolidated revenue and operating income declined sharply, EPS fell materially, margins were compressed by tariffs and mix, operating expenses rose, and operating cash flow deteriorated. The strategy and early operational improvements are encouraging, but significant near-term headwinds and execution risks remain.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Harley‑Davidson reaffirmed full‑year 2026 guidance with HDMC retail units and wholesale units each expected at 130,000–135,000 and retail/wholesale largely one‑to‑one; it forecasts incremental tariff costs of $75–$90 million for 2026 (Q1 tariffs were $45M), HDMC operating income of +$10M to -$40M, HDFS operating income of $45–$60M, and a LiveWire operating loss of $70–$80M. Management reiterated a path to $350M+ EBITDA in 2027 driven by at least $150M of annual run‑rate cost saves (impacting 2027+), and set medium‑term targets of mid‑single‑digit retail unit growth, mid‑single‑digit P&A and A&L growth, gross margins approaching ~30%, operating expenses <20% of sales (vs 25% in 2025), and a 10%–12% EBITDA margin. Q1 results that framed the guidance included consolidated revenue down 12%, consolidated operating income $23M (Q1 EPS $0.22 vs $1.07 prior year), HDMC revenue $1.1B (-2%) with motorcycles $836M, HDMC gross profit 25.3% (vs 29.1%), HDFS revenue $112M (-54%) with operating income $22M, LiveWire revenue +87% with an $18M operating loss, global retail sales +8% (~34,000 units: North America +14%/~24,000; ex‑NA -4%/~10,000), wholesale shipments ~37,300 (-3%), dealer inventory down 22% YoY and ~2/3 of NA inventory current model year, net cash used in operations $228M (cash $1.8B), retail originations $671M (+14%), and gross financing receivables $2.5B (retail $1.3B; commercial $1.2B).LiveWire Group Financial Statement Overview
