LiveWire reported quarterly sales growth but continued losses and declining cash reserves, and warned there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue operating. It has withdrawn its 2026 operating-loss guidance and is exploring financing, partnerships, investment or a sale. (933e42f5-face-4021-8288-ea9cd1a3c2a6; 4ff65dc9-bf7c-4a38-8484-27e15ca6d77c)

  • LiveWire reported $7.9 million in third-quarter revenue and an $18.6 million net loss; its cash reserves were $39.9 million on September 30, down from $82.8 million at the end of 2025. (933e42f5-face-4021-8288-ea9cd1a3c2a6; 4ff65dc9-bf7c-4a38-8484-27e15ca6d77c)
  • The company withdrew its forecast of a $70 million to $80 million operating loss for 2026 and formed a restructuring committee to consider funding and other options, including a possible sale. (933e42f5-face-4021-8288-ea9cd1a3c2a6; 4ff65dc9-bf7c-4a38-8484-27e15ca6d77c)
  • LiveWire’s S4 Honcho models start below $5,000. The centre report says US deliveries of the Trail began in August and the Street reached dealers in October, while noting that the effect on the company’s finances remains uncertain.
