Important POSSIBLE BUYER for ARCTIC CAT!

[boondocker97]

IDK, with tariffs in play it might have upped the value of the company. Might have been waiting to see what those were going to be before settling on a final price.

I agree.
More likely to be going up than down to those with long range scopes.

Well, here's some good news for Cat. Straight from the Textron website. Hopefully we hear who it is soon, and it would also be great to hear a plan for MY2026 sleds.

Also looks like the sale just finally closed yesterday:

The article states they completed the sale of Cat yesterday, the 23rd of April. I wonder when we'll hear who the buyer is

I was at an AC dealer a few weeks ago and they told me they were confident there was a buyer and we'd probably hear about it in 2 weeks. Looks like they were right...

Argo. I just got a text from someone that works there

Former AC executive Brad Darling and an investment group are the new owners. The Cat lives on, and I don't own an orphan.

Yes cat lives on. Love my M858. Glad I didn’t wait to order it. Now we’ll see if they can get the 26 lineup out.

Well at least their is someone who knows the industry leading the way , maybe it's a good sign of things to come . Been a cat loyalist for 35 years , broke my own rule and went and bought a first year model 858 , didn't want to not be able to buy a new cat in the future , if indeed they went tits up. The way I take care of sleds this will more than likely be my last new one regardless of what happens to cat !! The sled industry needs all three to progress and innovate and get better !! Fingers crossed !!

I am a former cat owner and loved them, I jumped ship because of quality issues. I went with Doo in 1995 and been happy ever since. I do like the the new catalyst but I just bought maybee my last sled also, a Summit 850 154. Glad to heat Cat will go on, competition is always good. Still have my 1976 Jag 2000, great little sled that just keeps running and bringing smiles....

Let's see some of that 2005 Arctic Cat M series energy, and innovation! So happy they've been picked up by a North American offroad company like Argo. Cat, and Polaris have the only 2 mountain chassis I get along with. Grew up on Yamaha, but that's over, and was really concerned Polaris would be all that's left.

Argo did not pick them up, they were purchased by a group of investors, several of whom have stake in Argo. Cat is its own entity, independent from Argo.
