Investors may not realize it, but they've borne witness to history. Since bottoming out on March 23, 2020, the benchmark S&P 500 has doubled in value. It's the most robust bounce-back rally from a bear-market bottom Wall Street has ever seen.
Harley-Davidson’s stock (NYSE: HOG) declined by 6.7% to $41 in the last twenty-one trading days. In comparison, the broader S&P500 rose by 1.8% over the last twenty-one trading days. The fall was arrested after the Q2 2021 results where Harley-Davidson continued its r
Once upon a time, auto investors wondered if the "legacy" automakers would ever be able to muster the software prowess needed to compete with start-ups developing self-driving vehicles. But some of those old automakers -- notably Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) and General Motors (N

At first glance, General Motors' (NYSE: GM) second-quarter results seemed pretty good. While the global semiconductor shortage kept GM from shipping as many vehicles as it would have wanted, its profitability on the vehicles it did ship was excellent. But GM's stock fell sharply
Auto investors had a pleasant surprise when Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) reported its second-quarter earnings on July 29: a nice profit. While the effects of the global semiconductor shortage had Wall Street expecting a loss of about $0.10 per share, Ford instead managed a tidy p
