Dealer Survey Lowers Analyst Sales Expectations For Arctic Cat

A recent survey of dealers by analysts at BMO Capital Markets indicates that Arctic Cat may be experiencing lower than expected sales growth.  They have lowered their annual sales growth targets from 15% to 10% for the next two years based on information from dealers around the country.  While the estimates refer to total sales across all segments, the side-by-side segment is commented about specifically.  Strong sales in the high end Wildcat recreational side-by-side have slowed and not driven sales of lower end utility vehicles as much as expected.  Arctic Cat is in tough competition with Can Am for the second spot in the recreational segment behind Polaris but should benefit from their four-seat Wildcat hitting the market next month.  Learn more:  Powersportsbusiness.com
