Harley-Davidson is expected to report a year-over-year decline in earnings and revenues for the quarter ended March 2025. Analysts predict earnings of $0.90 per share, down 47.7%, and revenues of $1.12 billion, down 24.3%. The stock’s performance post-earnings will largely depend on how these numbers compare to expectations.

Analysts are closely watching Harley-Davidson’s upcoming earnings report to assess its business conditions. The company’s Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the consensus, resulting in an Earnings ESP of +20.82%. However, the stock currently holds a Zacks Rank #5, making it challenging to predict an earnings beat definitively.

Tesla, another player in the Automotive – Domestic industry, is expected to report earnings of $0.45 per share for the same quarter, with revenues of $21.5 billion. Despite a 19.5% downward revision in consensus EPS estimates and a Zacks Rank #4, Tesla has an Earnings ESP of -3.79%, making an earnings beat uncertain.
