An analyst from BMO Capital Markets predicts stronger than expected first quarter 2013 results for Polaris in large part driven by Ranger UTV sales. While the recreational segment has been experiencing fast growth the markets served by the Ranger UTV have been overlooked to a certain degree. The analyst points to an estimated 35% share in the segment held by the various Ranger models and the relatively lower level of competition compared to the recreational segment as reasons for optimism in the expanding market. Expectations are that Ranger sales will grow by nearly 50% in quarter to quarter comparison with 2012. Despite more competition, growth is expected in the recreational segment as well.  Learn more:  Powersportsbusiness.com
