(Harley-Davidson) stock. DWG had been bullish on its Harley-Davidson stock, leading DWG to increase its position in Harley-Davidson substantially over time. However, Harley-Davidson was currently facing several challenges, which suggested that the timing was appropriate for DWG to reconsider its bullish position. How should the analyst determine a suitable recommendation regarding the Harley-Davidson stock?

This case can be used in undergraduate- and graduate-level finance courses to introduce the single-stage dividend discount model (DDM) as a relatively simple and intuitive valuation tool. The case can also be used in more advanced finance courses by placing more emphasis on the multi-stage component of the DDM valuation. After working through the case and assignment questions, students will be able to do the following:<ul><li>Assess the opportunities and risks associated with investment in a company’s stock, considering strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.</li><li>Reinforce financial statement analysis as an important tool for sizing up a company.</li><li>Understand the key advantages and disadvantages, assumptions, and mechanics associated with using single- and two-stage DDMs to value a company’s stock.</li></ul>
