INITIATING COVERAGE | 18 JUN 2026

Key Risks

Macroeconomic and consumer demand risk

Pierce operates in a cyclical, consumer-driven market that is sensitive to discretionary

spending patterns. Weaker consumer confidence, inflationary pressures, or higher interest

rates could reduce household purchasing power and negatively impact demand for

motorcycle parts and accessories. A prolonged slowdown in key Nordic and European

markets could weigh on both sales volumes and profitability.

Competitive pressure and pricing risk

The online retail market for motorcycle parts remains highly competitive, with price

Pierce to fluctuations in supplier pricing and availability. Sustained pricing pressure could

hinder the company’s ability to reach targeted profitability levels.

Execution and transformation risk

Pierce is undergoing a multi-year transformation under its Pierce 2.0 program aimed at

restoring profitability and operational efficiency. Delays in IT system implementation, slower-

postpone margin recovery. Failure to execute on strategic initiatives such as own-brand

development or logistics optimization could limit long-term value creation.

Supply chain and inventory management risk
