Polaris Raises Full-Year 2026 Guidance After Strong Second Quarter

Polaris Inc. raised its full-year 2026 financial outlook after reporting second-quarter results that surpassed internal targets. Reported sales increased 9%, driven by double-digit growth in the Powersports segment, while organic sales rose 17% when excluding Indian Motorcycle. Operational adjusted earnings per share reached $1.01, exceeding the target range of $0.70 to $0.80, and adjusted earnings per share were $1.97, including a $74 million pre-tax benefit from IEEPA tariff refund claims. The company now expects full-year sales of $7.3 billion to $7.5 billion, representing 2% to 5% growth, and raised its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance to $3.00 to $3.10. Off-road vehicle North American retail grew 5%, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of market share gains, while dealer inventory decreased 8% year over year. Management cited strong operational performance, favorable product mix, and tariff refunds as key drivers, while noting ongoing headwinds from commodity costs and a pressured recreational vehicle market.

3 Reasons to Sell Polaris and 1 Stock to Buy Instead

Polaris shares have fallen 7.1% over the past six months to $64.33, underperforming the S&P 500's 8% gain, and analysts at StockStory see further downside. The firm cites three concerns: Polaris's trailing 12-month revenue of $7.24 billion is roughly flat compared to five years ago, signaling weak long-term demand. Free cash flow margin is expected to decline from 7.7% to 5.4% over the next year, and return on invested capital has decreased significantly, suggesting limited profitable growth opportunities. At a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 47.5, StockStory believes too much optimism is priced in and recommends looking elsewhere, highlighting a stock favored by Charlie Munger as a better alternative.
