You guys think this will make the Yamaha stock prices go up in a few years if they produce a Rzr killer and keep making improvements like a future turbo model?
With Yamaha stock being near a 52 week low I would think its a great time to buy before they release the yxz 1000. Polaris and artic cat jumped up fast when they produced 1000cc machines.
I would think Yamaha UTV's would be a very tiny percentage of thier overall market, they make a very wide range of stuff. They do alot of musical instruments, speakers, robots, furniture, sporting goods etc.
I am very hopeful for the new sxs because I don't want a Polaris, can am and definitely not an Artic cat.
But the fact is Yamaha is a HUGE company and I'm not sure this one product will make or break them. Outboard motors, music equipment, motors for automotive, atv's, motorcycles, etc. They are in to everything.
Yamaha is so large and the sxs market is a very small part that I don't expect much influence, but more sales is definitely not going to make the stock go down.
Yamaha said somewhere that they planned on something like a 70% increase in UTV market share this year if I remember correctly. I can't find the link but I did find this.
"Yamaha’s 2014 Business Results Report is that its ATV/UTV sales increased by 20% in 2014 and are projected to increase by a further 41% in 2015. If Yamaha’s projections are correct, that would be a 70% increase in sales in two years, which is a monumental jump. That tells me that Yamaha, along with expecting good sales from the Wolverine, might have something big coming this year. To impact sales that dramatically, I’m thinking a new vehicle would have to be in dealerships relatively soon – mid-summer seems as good a time as any."
