Harley-Davidson (HOG) just refreshed its partnership with outdoor brand Realtree, rolling out a second limited-edition apparel line that targets riders who also identify as hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.
The refreshed Realtree collaboration lands at a time when Harley-Davidson’s share price has slipped 12.21% over the past 30 days and 5.88% over the last week, even though the year-to-date share price return sits at 19.53% and the 1-year total shareholder return is down 11.16%. This suggests that recent momentum has cooled while longer term investors have yet to see a recovery in overall returns.
