Alexander Perry has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Yeti Holdings. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings per share (EPS) and gross margin were slightly better than anticipated, driven by strong growth in international markets and the coolers segment. However, these positive aspects are tempered by an increasingly competitive environment in the U.S., particularly in the drinkware category, which affects the overall outlook.
Furthermore, while Yeti’s guidance for 2025 EPS is slightly above expectations, the potential impact of additional tariffs on Chinese imports remains uncertain. This uncertainty, coupled with a foreign exchange headwind, poses risks that could affect the company’s future performance. Given these mixed signals, the recommendation to hold reflects a cautious approach, balancing the company’s current strengths with the external challenges it faces.
