During its first quarter 2025 earnings presentation and in its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the "Company") estimated that incremental tariffs on products between China and the U.S. would cost the Company $75-$100 million in 2025.
 &nbsp;
Following the Joint Statement on U.S.-China Economic and Trade Meeting in Geneva issued today, the Company now expects a $45 million reduction in those tariffs for a total estimated cost of $30-$55 million in incremental tariffs on products between China and the U.S. in 2025. The Company's new expectation assumes that the incremental tariffs on products between China and the U.S. will be 30% from May 12, 2025 through August 12, 2025 and revert to 145% after the 90-day pause. If the tariff level remains at 30% for the remainder of 2025, we expect a $65 million reduction in the original incremental tariff estimate for a total estimated cost of $10-$35 million in incremental tariffs in 2025. If that $65 million reduction occurs, then the Company estimates the total impact of incremental tariffs worldwide would range from $65-$110 million in 2025.
 &nbsp;
Additionally, the Company now confirms that the HDFS transaction announced on the Company's first quarter 2025 earnings call is continuing to progress with multiple interested parties. The Company now expects to provide details of a transaction during its second quarter 2025 earnings presentation as it targets a transaction close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to Board approval.

The letter highlights:
<ul>
<li>In the face of one of the most challenging operating environments in Harley-Davidson's 120+-year history, the Company has outperformed its peers.</li>
<li>Each of Harley-Davidson's Director nominees is passionate about preserving Harley-Davidson's legacy and committed to supporting a successful leadership transition in line with governance best practices.
<ul>
<li>We believe the Directors targeted by H Partners are critical in choosing the next CEO to lead the Company, as they collectively bring deep institutional knowledge of Harley-Davidson, leadership experience with iconic brands, extensive expertise in manufacturing and engineering and track records of successful business transformation.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After three years with their own representative on the Board – during which time H Partners fully supported the current CEO, endorsed the Hardwire strategic plan and voted in favor of all Directors standing for reelection – H Partners has launched what we view to be a misleading campaign that puts shareholder value and the Company's long-term strategy and thoughtful succession plan all at risk.
<ul>
<li>H Partners' recent U-turn is not about protecting shareholders' interests, it's about getting their own way – seeking to gain control of an American icon after their preferred CEO candidate did not receive even bare majority support.</li>

'Harley-Davidson Sets the Record Straight on H Partners' Disingenuous and Harmful Claims'- Harley Davidson

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), calling it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RDDT/earnings">&#8220;very good&#8221; stock.</a>
On the earnings front, Reddit will release its first-quarter financial results after market close on Thursday, May 1. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at 2 cents per share on revenue of $370.12 million.
Cramer said he likes Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAM#NYSE">BAM</a>) and added, &#8220;Those guys are real good.&#8221;
Supporting his view, B of A Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler upgraded Brookfield Asset Management from Neutral to Buy on April 10 and maintained a price target of $65.
OneMain Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMF#NYSE">OMF</a>) is &#8220;too risky,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I want you to get out of that right now.&#8221;
OneMain Holdings will report its first-quarter results before the market opens on Tuesday, April 29.
When asked about Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOG#NYSE">HOG</a>), he said, &#8220;It doesn't have the sales that I really like, but I think you can bounce from here.&#8221;
