Slowing sales, strong dollar could hit Harley stock: Barron's

By Lawrence Delevingne

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Slowing sales could cause shares of Harley-Davidson Inc. (N:HOG) to decline after being on the rise for much of the past 12 months, according to a Barron's cover story dated Feb. 27.

The article notes that the famed motorcycle maker's customer base of middle-aged Americans is shrinking and a strong U.S. dollar hurts the profitability of international sales.

Barron's believes the stock should trade in the low $40s, down from around $56 on Friday.
