Polaris Outperforms May Stock Slump

Dow and S&P 500 Decline Sharply

Polaris Industries common stock lost ground in May, but its decline was only about one-third of the ground lost by leading market indicators, and it was much better than two other powersports stocks, Harley-Davidson and Arctic Cat.

Polaris closed May 28, 2010, at $58.70, off $2.35, or 3.8%, from its close on May 3 of $61.05. Polaris stock was given a strong boost on May 24 when analyst Joe Hovorka of Raymond James upgraded his Polaris rating from Market Perform (third level rating) to Strong Buy (top rating).
