what's up with Arctic Cat... outlook doesn't look great?

[catalac]

Stock chart for Polaris looks about the same, toy bizz taking a lick?

Buncha Debbie Downers up in this beeyotch.

The good news is, you might be able to pick up some affordable parts at the liquidation sale?

 

[deaner]

Its ironic that after so many years of sucking balls, they finally build a decent sled and then might go under a year or two later.

 

[kanedog]

Net profits on Cat sleds was $12,000,000 last year while Brp made $1,000,000 on belts. Anyone find it funny(funny, not funny) that there are 100+ belts on display at each Brp showroom?

Maybe yamaha will want the mono rail.

 

[kanedog]

Maybe they want some mono cawk?

brp looking for another handout yet?

Not even a joke anymore Larry. Different company for the 24,000th time.

That's funny. BRP stock is doing well and continues to see growth around the world. I was thinking when Arctic cat needed a new sugar daddy before Textron, the U.S gov should have bailed them out. 247 million for a company that was flowndering but not completely dead in the water is a smoking deal. For that price half of the cat owners on S & M could have pooled their money together and bought it. It would have a better chance of survival in the hands of cat owners over the suits at textron that don't even know what sled is!

might want to go a bit more heavy duty than that.

rail way beams might work.

When Cat is no more I will switch from Cat piss to the doolaid

Same taste, just more expensive.

Yep, just like Bell Helicopters and Arctic Cat are different companies. Oh wait, Textron owns them both.

 

[lilduke]

definitely a lot of shady chit going on down in Quebec.

one of the most corrupt places in the developed world.

 

[Steve D]

Textron almost killed Polaris the first time around. They look like they want to make sure Arctic Cat stays dead when they're done this time.

Might be a different company on paper... but the top shareholders are all the same.

What's your point? What's wrong with being a shareholder for multiple profitable companies? Lots of people are, including myself and I'm a good guy!

If it's about the Snc Lavalin scandal, As far as trudeau trying make a deal and covering it up.... that just politics at play and being dishonest. He deserves to go down and be replaced because of it. As far as the company itself is concerned... that part is laughable! A multi national Canadian company that makes deals all over the world gets busted for entertaining customers with free trips, booze and hookers in order to land the contracts. So they didn't hold the moral high ground concerning bribes. Big deal. Every other company competing at that level do the exact same things. When I worked overseas I had to grease lots of people with money to get anything done. I'd probably still be there if I hadn't. That's just how it works. For big corporations thats nothing new.

no its the whole province, never even brought them up. but SC lavalink is one of the worst in the entire world.

they are so bad they are on some sort of international red flag ban list. they aren't even allowed to bid on certain international contracts because they are known around the world for being scum.

I'm sure brp gets all kinds of favours from the government. just like everyone else out there

Well... I'm not saying it's right to do business that way, but even from my own low level experience in some less desirable parts of the world I can see how big companies with multi million dollar contracts at stake can go down that road...the customers themselves expect it.
