How Motorcycle OEM US Highland (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK) can Benefit from Industry Growth

October 25, 2011- Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors issues a snapshot on the motorcycle industry and how the industry is showing signs of recovery, with better than expected sales from the industry leaders and how small player  US Highland, Inc. (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK) can participate in the growth as an OEM supplier .

Motorcycle Industry Commentary

Randy Lewis, CFA, Founder of EquityNet Research
For full article, bio and full disclaimer: http://www.investorideas.com/news/2011/article/10251.asp


Overall sales are up about 10% this year from a year ago.  

Harley Davidson (NYSE:HOG) and Polaris (NYSE:PII ) (which owns Indian and Victory Motorcycles), are the industry’s top guns, collectively owning well over 50% of the U.S. market.

Both companies (having recently reported Q3 earnings) have had strong rebounds and are showing phenomenal growth in an industry that is supposedly underwater.  Polaris recently raised its sales growth outlook to 30% to 32% based on a solid – and better than expected - third quarter.  Sales of off-road vehicles rose 25% and fueled significant market share gains by ATVs in the North American market. Sales of Victory Motorcycles were up 77% compared to figures from the same period last year. Even “Parts, Garments and Accessories” sales increased 21%.
Similar things are happening at Harley Davidson, though the company has run into some production issues.  Sales of new motorcycles rose 5.1% to 61,838 bikes, which included a 5.4% increase in U.S. sales.  This pushed revenue from bike sales and related products up 13.4% to $1.23 billion.  Harley held its motorcycle shipment forecast steady for 2011, saying it still expects to ship between 8% to 12% more new bikes than last year (right in line with Jones’ 10% growth estimate).

Of course, sales of finished goods should also drive sales growth for OEMs that supply manufacturers. One such company, US Highland, Inc. (OTC.BB: UHLN.PK) is a relatively new player on the OEM scene, providing complete single cylinder and v-twin engine powertrain foundations - engine platforms coupled with patent-pending innovative fuel systems.  

After its own challenges in an industry that has had its share, US Highland is in the midst of a restructuring, bringing in new management (now headed by Harley Davidson and Indian veteran, John Fitzpatrick) solidifying its strategy and operations, and working to raise capital to fund its business plan.  Thus, we do not have a lot of specific information at this time, but we do know the Company appears to be an engineering and technology firm first.  US Highland generated over $1.5 million in revenues last year from engineering and business development activities, but plans are to target OEM manufacturers, followed by its own line of motorcycles in 2012.   

According to management, the Company is currently working with several OEMs for the implementation of its powertrain technology, the results of which could extend US Highland sales beyond 20,000 units per year globally.

Market Turning Positive Despite all the Terrible News
Over the past few days most of my indicators (technical) have turned positive and despite all the terrible news in the U.S. economy and in Europe what appears to be happening NOW is a buying opportunity.
There is an old saying that a rising tide lifts ALL boats.
The solar sector has literally been destroyed and NONE of the stocks in our solar stock list have given a strong buy signal - but I have gotten so many e-mails regarding what to buy if an investor wants to "bottom fish" in the solar area.
I took a look at the sector over the weekend and we "bought" (simulated, not actual) the following 5 solar stocks yesterday (10-24-2011) these are the best five stocks, in my opinion, if you want to take a chance and bottom fish in the solar industry sector. But keep in mind this is a trading play and should be classified as higher risk money.
We also further diversified, due to the weakness of the sector, by putting an equal amount of money ($5,000) into each stock, thereby not having the portfolio overly influenced by any one stock being overweighed and having a disproportional effect on the portfolio results.
Good Luck traders.....
Bottom Fisher Solar 5 Portfolio - 10/24/2011

Stock	Price	$$ Invest	Number of Shares
WFR	6.05	5000	826
JASO	2.19	5000	2283

YGE	3.71	5000	1347
SOL	2.19	5000	2283

Background Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis - this form of analysis will tell you "when" to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.
