I couldn't believe that either so I looked it up - you are right. 7% in 2014. Still, sled sales are $322 million/year for them.

Wonder how much of the 322 million gets to be 800 pistons?
Pretty regular out in the plains there is an outfit you can rent them from. Have had several friends do it. I have not.
All I know is the power of the new 4 stroke dirt bikes is so amazing. Every gear you can just throttle wheelies. Cant image how much fun it would be.
Only difficulty I see is the keeping your foot on the left peg to ensure fast shifting. Miss a gear in deep snow is gonna get interesting. Front ski dives etc...

PG&A - parts, garments and accessories is 17% of the business or $742 million. That must be where all the 800 pistons are.
They (timbersled) make suspension parts for sleds too - Poo might be buying the company for those capabilities or patents too.

got to laugh at the haters. who knows maybe Poo will buy Wossner to. It's all about the money.
Back in 07 or 08, polaris stock was down to around 3-3.50 a share, right now it is at 143 a share. I think they know what they are doing.
Great news for TWO American companies, but, you haters just keep on thinking its a bad thing lol.
Looks like they bottomed out in Feb 2009 at about $9...if someone bought $7,000 of PII stock then (about 777 shares) instead of a $7,000 sled on that date, they'd have $111,000 today.

Smiles.
that is the case for a lot of stock in 09.
for a lot of real estate in 09
a lot of just about anything in 09.
I don't know why they were so low in 09 still had a ton of fed contracts then .
I know I was holding my cash in those yrs hopping for the best
I think their stock got hit hard during the "great recession" as the market still sees them as a recreational manufacturer only, which is all discretionary and should get hit hard in a recession. But the govt contracts were there plus people continue to borrow so I think they were still profitable. Nowhere near the company they have become now - I think even then they were mostly 4 wheelers and sleds.

Not sure how that plays in with Poo. They employ more U.S. citizens then Doo and yamaha.( trying to make it so you understand without a complex economic answer).
