Harley-Davidson Inc reported a 19.3per cent fall in quarterly profits on Tuesday, hurt by higher-tariff costs as well as a continued slide in ...
CHICAGO: Harley-Davidson Inc on Tuesday trimmed the forecast for shipments of its motorcycles in 2019 after worldwide sales in the second quarter slumped, hurt by higher tariff costs as well as weak demand in the United States.
Operating margin as a percent of motorcycle revenue is projected to be about 6per cent to 7per cent this year, lower than the 8.0per cent to 9.0per cent estimated earlier. Compounding the company's troubles is U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. In retaliation for the tariffs the White House placed on imported steel and aluminum, the European Union increased import duties on U.S.-manufactured Harley bikes to 31per cent from 6per cent last June.
