Shares of Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson — part of InvestorPlace‘s Real America Index — were off 9% after its most recent earnings report, despite a jump in earnings.
The company reported a profit of $247.3 million, or $1.07 a share, up from $190.6 million, or 81 cents a share, a year earlier — an improvement of 30% thanks to stronger sales of motorcycles in the U.S. and abroad, The Wall Street Journal reports. Analysts had only been expecting earnings of $1.05 a share.

The company also lowered its guidance by $10 million because of restructuring costs, though.
