Investing.com – The great outdoors beckoned, and Americans heeded the call.
Recreational vehicle maker Polaris (NYSE:PII) Industries rose almost 10% on Tuesday after saying demand was higher than expected, and continues to be so.
Shares have more than doubled from an all-time low in March.
Polaris re-initiated full-year 2020 sales and earnings guidance, estimating full-year adjusted earnings in the range of $6.40 to $6.60 per diluted share and full-year sales in the range of $6.65 billion to $6.75 billion.
North American retail sales jumped 57% in the second quarter compared to a year earlier, with off-road vehicle and motorcycle retail sales up significantly. Operating expenses dropped 15%.
“Polaris’ second quarter results significantly outperformed expectations,” said Chief Executive Officer Scott Wine in a company statement. “We overcame a near complete shutdown of both our dealers and the U.S. economy early in the quarter to capitalize on unprecedented retail demand for our Off-Road Vehicles and Motorcycles through May, June and now July.”
