Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LVWR

11/06/2026: LVWR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

LiveWire Group Inc. is a pure-play electric motorcycle manufacturer that spun out of Harley-Davidson to focus on high-performance urban mobility. Its primary strength lies in its premium brand heritage and its strategic R&D partnership with its former parent company. The company’s main growth opportunity centers on scaling its S2 platform to capture a broader market. However, investors must weigh these potential benefits against significant risks, including high production costs, intense competition from both legacy and electric-native brands, and the uncertainty of electric motorcycle adoption rates. LiveWire is best suited for growth-oriented investors and should be monitored for production scaling milestones.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LVWR receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LVWR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+20.0%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -223.4%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.6%), weak profitability (net margin -292.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LVWR's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 56.2%). Operating efficiency is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is LVWR's strongest growth driver at +43.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+20.0%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (-3.6%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 2.1% (soft) and 6.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (soft). Insider ownership of 94.05% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -0.25% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LVWR has a Value-Oriented profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
