Columbia Sportswear designs, markets, and distributes outdoor and lifestyle apparel, footwear, and gear globally through retail stores, e-commerce, and third-party channels.
Columbia's lightweight puffer jacket features Omni-Heat™ Infinity thermal-reflective technology, offering exceptional warmth without added weight, and is a key innovation in their winter collection, renowned as 'the gold standard in warmth.'
In its Third Quarter 2025 financial report, Columbia Sportswear announced a 40% decrease in operating income and a significant drop in diluted earnings per share from $1.56 to $0.95 year-over-year. The company also lowered its full-year financial outlook, citing $29 million in impairment charges related to its prAna and Mountain Hardwear brands and overall softer market conditions.
In a significant move to ensure long-term leadership stability, Columbia Sportswear appointed company veterans Peter J. Bragdon and Joseph P. Boyle as co-Presidents. This decision is a key part of the company's formal succession planning, positioning new leadership to drive growth across its brand portfolio while current Chairman and CEO Tim Boyle remains at the helm.
Columbia Sportswear (COLM) is upgraded from 'hold' to a soft 'buy' as recent financials and guidance improve. COLM's revenue grew 0.7% in H1 2026, with notable strength in its Columbia and prAna brands, despite SOREL's temporary weakness. Profitability surged, aided by $78M in tariff refunds, but underlying cash flow and EBITDA remain strong even excluding these one-offs.
