In other recent news, Polaris Industries has been in the spotlight due to several analyst actions and market challenges. Citi analysts downgraded Polaris Industries’ stock rating from Neutral to Sell, reducing the price target from $49 to $33, citing concerns over a challenging market environment and the impact of additional tariffs from China, Mexico, and Canada. In contrast, RBC Capital maintained a Sector Perform rating with a price target of $54, acknowledging the operational challenges posed by tariffs but reaffirming the company’s mid-cycle financial targets. BMO Capital Markets also maintained a Market Perform rating with a $50 price target, highlighting Polaris’ cautious outlook amid macroeconomic conditions and tariffs while emphasizing the company’s long-term demand prospects.

(TSX:DOO), an industry peer of Polaris, faced a similar downgrade from Citi, with its stock rating cut from Neutral to Sell and a price target reduction from $48 to $29, driven by market difficulties and tariff concerns. Meanwhile, Polaris Parent LLC (Solera) experienced a credit rating downgrade from S&P Global Ratings to ’CCC+’ due to expected negative cash flow and slower revenue growth.
