What to Watch For

2024 Outlook

Polaris is set to unveil its outlook for 2024 on Tuesday. Analysts at D.A. Davidson predict that the company's guidance will emphasize the latter half of the year. They draw parallels between Polaris and boat manufacturers, who are currently grappling with excess inventory among dealerships, leading them to regulate production.

Sales Trending

In addition to reporting fourth-quarter results, Polaris executives are likely to provide insights into January's sales performance. According to the Davidson analysts, off-road vehicle dealerships have experienced a slowdown in momentum compared to December. "January retail trends have been especially disappointing for dealers given PII is offering larger rebates compared to January 2023," stated the analysts in a recent note.
