Polaris Inc (PII) Soars 5.7%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Polaris Inc (PII) shares rallied 5.7% in the last trading session to close at $129.48. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 3% gain over the past four weeks.

Additionally, the 2022 Polaris Snowmobile lineup—featuring 22 new models and built on the rider-first matryx platform— is grabbing massive attention of adventurers and investors alike, thereby boosting the share price of the firm.
