Abstract

After an LBO and near bankruptcy in the early 1980s, Harley-Davidson makes an astonishing recovery, going public in 1986. Its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 1987 provides the occasion of an equity analyst to publish a research report in which she must issue a buy, sell, or hold recommendation for Harley''s stock. Complicating her analysis is the fact that Harley still faces vigorous Japanese competition and, therefore, has a significant operating exposure to the yen/dollar exchange rate. Stimulates discussion about operating exposure to real exchange rate changes.
