Second quarter global motorcycle shipments increased 9 percent, while wholesale unit shipments were lower than retail unit sales.

Parts & Accessories revenue was down 5 percent and Apparel & Licensing revenue was up 2 percent.

Second quarter gross margin came in at 27.5 percent, which was down 108 basis points versus prior year. Gross profit was impacted favorably by manufacturing and other costs, including a tariff recovery that benefited gross profit.

Operating expenses came in $6 million lower than a year ago, at $232 million, including a restructuring expense of $3 million. Second quarter operating income margin was 6.6 percent compared to 5.9 percent in the prior year quarter.

In the second quarter, HDFS revenue was down 55 percent from prior year, driven by lower retail finance receivables. The decline in retail receivables was due to the sale of loan assets that took place in the second half of 2025. Other income within HDFS revenue was favorable year-over-year due to new servicing fees.

HDFS operating income came in at $22 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $48 million or 69 percent from the prior year period. On the expense side, both interest expense and the provision for credit loss expense were significantly lower, which was due to the decreased size of the retail loan portfolio and related debt on a year-over-year basis. Operating expenses increased by $3 million versus prior year. Total quarter-end net finance receivables, including both retail and wholesale loans, were $2.6 billion, a 64 percent decline compared to the prior year primarily due to the sale of loan assets that took place in the second half of 2025.

In addition, Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc.'s efforts to adjust underwriting criteria based on market and economic conditions, and actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values, may impact Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc.'s retail credit losses.

The Company's operations, demand for its products, and its liquidity could be adversely impacted by changes in tariffs, inflation, work stoppages, facility closures, strikes, natural causes, widespread infectious disease, terrorism, war or other hostilities, including the conflict in Iran, or other factors. Refer to "Risk Factors" under Item 1.A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, for a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP", "GAAP"), including Adjusted EBITDA for HDMC and LiveWire and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for HDMC. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different from similarly-titled measures disclosed by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA for HDMC and Adjusted EBITDA for LiveWire are defined as Harley-Davidson, Inc. consolidated net income, excluding, on a consolidated basis, interest expense, income tax provision, investment income, and other income, net. Depreciation and amortization for HDMC and LiveWire, respectively, are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA for HDMC and LiveWire, respectively. In addition, certain other items impacting consolidated net income are excluded from HDMC Adjusted EBITDA and/or LiveWire Adjusted EBITDA. For example, the Company may exclude from HDMC or LiveWire Adjusted EBITDA the impacts of certain events, gains, losses or other costs and charges, such as corporate restructuring activities, reorganizations or one-time employee termination benefits, that affect the period-to-period comparability of HDMC's and LiveWire's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is used by HDMC and is defined as HDMC Adjusted EBITDA divided by HDMC revenue.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for HDMC and Adjusted EBITDA for LiveWire more clearly identify the core trends in the respective ongoing business operations that could otherwise be masked by the effects of the items that the Company excludes from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for HDMC and Adjusted EBITDA for LiveWire. These non-GAAP measures allow management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and benchmark performance with other comparable companies and between periods without regard to items the Company does not consider a component of core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from HDMC and LiveWire Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as implying that the Company's results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

This earnings release includes a reconciliation of Harley-Davidson Inc. consolidated net income to HDMC Adjusted EBITDA and LiveWire Adjusted EBITDA.

Provides Opportunity to Participate in Upside of a Combined Company with a Strong Balance Sheet, Greater Scale and Broader Strategic Capabilities

Stockholders Encouraged to Vote "FOR" the Transaction Today 

Visit VoteLivePerson.com for Information on How to Vote

, /PRNewswire/ -- LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) ("LivePerson" or "the Company"), a leading provider of predictable conversational AI, today announced that it has mailed a letter to stockholders encouraging them to vote "FOR" the Company's previously announced transaction with SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN). A Special Meeting of Stockholders related to the pending transaction will be held on August 20, 2026, and stockholders of record as of close of business on July 6, 2026 are entitled to vote.

The letter, the full text of which is below, has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available at www.VoteLivePerson.com with voting instructions and other information about the transaction.

Fellow Stockholder,

We are writing to remind you about the proposed acquisition of LivePerson by SoundHound AI and the upcoming special meeting to be held on August 20, 2026.

By voting FOR the transaction, LivePerson stockholders have the opportunity to participate in the upside of a combined company with a strong balance sheet and no debt, greater scale and broader strategic capabilities.

Your vote and participation, however many shares you own, are very important. A share that is not voted counts the same as a vote against the transaction. Your prompt response will help us secure stockholder approval before the meeting, reducing the risk of postponement.

The Pending Transaction is the Best Strategic Alternative for LivePerson Stockholders

The LivePerson Board of Directors undertook a comprehensive review of alternatives in which 66 potential counterparties were contacted. The Board determined that the transaction with SoundHound represents the best alternative for maximizing stockholder value, including when compared to continuing as a standalone company given the business, financial, competitive, industry and market risks facing LivePerson.

A vote FOR the transaction is a vote in favor of the following benefits to LivePerson stockholders:

Represents Premium Value for LivePerson Stockholders: Based on the assumptions described in the proxy statement/prospectus, most LivePerson stockholders will receive SoundHound stock, which as of the announcement of the transaction on April 21, 2026, represented approximately $3.33 in value per LivePerson share, a premium of approximately 22% over LivePerson's 30-day volume-weighted average trading price before such announcement. Stockholders holding shares listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange are expected to receive the equivalent value in cash instead of SoundHound shares. Presents Opportunity to Participate in Future Upside: LivePerson stockholders receiving consideration in the form of SoundHound stock would become stockholders of a combined company with a strong balance sheet with no debt and accelerated path to profitability. SoundHound has stated that, assuming the transaction closes in the second half of 2026, it expects an achievable combined revenue range of at minimum $350 to $400 million in 2027, and that the combined business is expected to reach $500 million based on the existing customer base alone. Creates a More Complete Platform with Greater Scale: The transaction would unite complementary capabilities across voice, digital engagement, agentic AI and AI assurance. The combined customer base includes 25 of the Fortune 100, creating one of the conversational AI sector's most comprehensive enterprise customer footprints and significant opportunities to introduce additional capabilities across the companies' existing customer bases. A negotiated resolution to LivePerson's debt. LivePerson's outstanding debt currently exceeds the total value of the transaction. As part of the transaction, our secured noteholders have agreed to exchange their notes at a value reflecting a substantial discount to the notes' approximately $350 million par value.  Given LivePerson's valuation and substantial debt, no strategic transaction that allows LivePerson stockholders to receive any value for their shares may have been possible without such material noteholder concessions. Voting Takes About Two Minutes

It is imperative that you take just two minutes to vote FOR the transaction today using one of the following methods. For more information and additional materials visit www.VoteLivePerson.com.

Analysts at UBS remain bullish on the price of gold in 2026-2027 despite recent weakness, arguing that the latest correction offers investors an opportunity to add exposure rather than abandon the precious metal.

The bank forecasts the gold price rising from around $4,000 per ounce today to $5,200 by June 2027, even as higher oil prices and expectations for elevated US interest rates create near-term headwinds.

The price of Gold in US Dollars (XAU/USD) traded close to $4,090 on Thursday after recovering modestly from recent lows, having fallen sharply from February's record highs above $5,500.

Image: Gold price in USD - 6 month chart The six-month chart highlights the scale of gold's correction from February's record highs above $5,500, with prices now consolidating around the $4,000 level that UBS believes should provide a solid long-term base.

UBS says renewed tensions in the Middle East have created a more difficult backdrop for gold than many investors expected.

"Re-escalating military tensions in the Middle East and higher oil prices are creating renewed headwinds for gold."

The bank believes stronger oil prices could keep US inflation elevated, encouraging markets to price in higher interest rates for longer and reducing demand for non-yielding assets.

However, UBS argues that these pressures are likely to prove temporary.

"We view pullbacks in gold to USD 3,850/oz as opportunities to add exposure, rather than reasons to turn more bearish."

The bank says the key to a sustained recovery will be renewed investment demand alongside continued buying by central banks.

"Sustained investment and central bank demand... are necessary to justify a gold price above USD 4,000/oz."

UBS expects official-sector purchases to remain exceptionally strong, forecasting central banks will buy 750-1,000 tonnes of gold this year as reserve managers continue diversifying away from US Dollar assets.

"We expect central bank purchases to remain elevated."

While those purchases should help stabilise prices, UBS says they are unlikely to drive another rally on their own without stronger investor inflows.

Image: Price of gold in USD - 2 day historical chart Gold has stabilised around the $4,090 level after recent selling pressure, with UBS viewing any further weakness towards $3,850 as a buying opportunity rather than a signal to exit positions.

UBS remains firmly constructive on the medium-term outlook despite expecting further volatility over the coming months.

The bank forecasts gold at $4,400 by September, $4,600 by the end of 2026, $5,000 by March 2027 and $5,200 by June 2027.

"Near-term demand challenges are primarily driven by lacklustre investment demand."

Nevertheless, UBS believes that once concerns over US interest rates begin to ease and investment demand returns, gold should resume its longer-term uptrend.

Ripple (XRP) price is in focus after shark and whale wallets purchased 600 million tokens in five weeks. The purchase comes amid optimism that the US Senate might vote to pass the CLARITY Act before the August recess.

XRP price is down by 1.73% today, July 23, to trade at $1.13 at the time of writing, with $980 million in trading volumes per CoinMarketCap data.

XRP Whales Scoop $625M Coins as CLARITY Act Debate Heats Up Santiment notes that the traders who hold between 100,000 and 100 million XRP coins have increased their holdings by 2.8% in the five weeks leading to July 22.

This means that they have purchased 600 million coins that are worth around $678M at the current price of XRP of $1.13.

XRP Whale Accumulation (Source: Santiment) The purchases come as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse urges Congress to pass the CLARITY Act bill before it goes on recess in August.

Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act text on July 22 that contained an ethics provision that barred the President from issuing digital assets.

But the ethics provision did not sway Democrats because the odds of CLARITY Act passing have dropped to 39% as the senators argue that the state Attorneys general should be the ones to enforce the ethics provision.

This recent opposition towards CLARITY Act has reduced demand for XRP ETFs because data from SoSOValue shows that they had zero flows on July 22.

XRP Price Nears Breakout as Bull Flag Emerges XRP has created a bull flag pattern on its four-hour chart that usually suggests that gains could continue.

This bull flag has a height of 7.25%. This suggests that XRP could gain by 7.25% and reach $1.24 if it closes above the resistance of $1.16.

The RSI reading of 55 suggests that the momentum is bullish, and this could push the price to $1.24 like the bull flag suggests.

XRP also remains above the 50-day EMA of $1.11 and the 200-day EMA of 1.12, and this shows that both the short-term and the long-term momentum is bullish.

XRP/USDT: 4-hour Chart (Source: TradingView But the bullish outlook seen in the bull flag might fail if the price of XRP moves below the 50-day EMA support of $1.11. Such a move could bring sellers back, and XRP could drop to the July 20 low of $1.08.

Futures Data Shows Weakening Speculative Demand Data from Coinglass shows that XRP’s open interest has dropped by 1.17% to $2.50 billion. This OI has dropped from $2.96 billion seen on June 1, suggesting that traders have been closing their futures positions on XRP.

XRP Open Interest (Source: Coinglass) The drop in OI comes after many long liquidations due to a drop in XRP price because of a bearish sentiment in the crypto market.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink notes that the liquidations flushed out excess leverage from the crypto market and he is now “very bullish” that prices will recover.

XRP derivatives volumes have also dropped from $15 billion in February 2026 to $1.91 billion at the time of writing per Coinglass data.

Space Exploration Technologies brought excitement to the space sector ahead of its initial public offering (IPO). But when the hype wore off, some space stocks fell back down to Earth.

Since SpaceX began trading to the public on June 12, the stock price of space and defense tech company Redwire (RDW -4.83%) plummeted 43% from July 12 to July 20. It's still up more than 20% in 2026, but over the last year, shares have dropped over 42%.

There's a bullish case that any significant pullbacks, like the one we've seen since June, could be a buying opportunity. Still, there are a few issues to factor in before making an investment decision.

The upside of Redwire Redwire helps make space missions possible through its antennas, power generation, trackers, and camera systems. That helps give its products an essential nature in the space industry. But its most unique operations are in providing space-based research and manufacturing capabilities for endeavors ranging from regenerative medicine to crop production.

Its revenue in its space division is flat, but it's making up for that by capturing increasing sales through its defense segment.

Q1 2026 Revenue

Defense: $9.3 million

Defense: $44.3 million

Space: $52.1 million

Space: $52.7 million

In the first quarter of 2026, Redwire also reported a record backlog of nearly $500 million, indicating increasing demand for its products and services. That appears to be reflected in Redwire's 2026 full-year revenue forecast; it reported around $335 million in revenue in 2025 and expects 2026's total to fall in a range of $450 million to $500 million.

What keeps weighing on the stock Redwire experienced a sell-off after SpaceX went public, but issues had been brewing before then. One was shareholders worried about dilution when Redwire announced in June that it was selling up to $500 million in common stock.

Another concern is growing losses. For 2025, Redwire reported net losses increased by $112.2 million to $226.6 million, and it already reported a net loss of $76.5 million in the first quarter of 2026.

In addition, while its backlog is a proof point of growing demand, Redwire still needs to convert that backlog into actual revenue. If it can't start chipping away at the backlog, it would likely have to keep issuing new stock if it finds itself in a tight financial position. At the end of the first quarter of 2026, Redwire reported total liquidity of $175.2 million.

Redwire shows some long-term promise, but I'd still be comfortable sitting on the sidelines until it cuts down on its losses and starts turning more of that backlog into revenue.
