Tom Nikic has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect the current challenges faced by Columbia Sportswear. Despite seeing strong international growth, the company is struggling domestically, and this is anticipated to continue affecting its performance at least until early 2026. This domestic weakness contributes to a cautious outlook, suggesting that it may take some time for the company’s stock to stabilize.
Additionally, while the recent quarterly revenue growth exceeded guidance, the earnings per share (EPS) loss was within expectations. However, the guidance for the next quarter’s revenues and EPS is below market consensus, and the full-year revenue growth forecast has been revised downward. These factors collectively indicate that the stock is not expected to show significant improvement in the near term, justifying the Hold rating.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $51.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 48 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of COLM in relation to earlier this year.
