Friday's Featured Article 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsReported by Dan Schmidt. Article Posted: 12/23/2025. 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 Tailwinds Despite a reputation to the contrary, Americans love the great outdoors. We enjoy hiking, biking, and traveling across our vast network of parks, and outdoor recreation is a meaningful driver of economic growth. Today, we'll break down three outdoor brand stocks that have been breaking out in the final weeks of 2025. Three Outdoor Stocks with Strong Tailwinds Entering 2026 The outdoor recreation industry is a larger part of the economy than you might think. As of the end of 2023, outdoor recreation generated more than $1.2 trillion in annual economic output, accounting for more than 2.3% of total U.S. GDP. More than 3% of the nation's workforce is employed in outdoor services, a figure that totaled over 5 million jobs in 2023. Outdoor recreation has also been a beneficiary of a K-shaped economic recovery, since wealthier consumers are the primary customers for motor homes, boats, camping gear, and outdoor sports equipment. The three outdoor companies below have bucked grim consumer sentiment to produce solid results and outsized stock gains over the last quarter. If you're looking to add winners to your portfolio that don't reside in the tech sector, consider doing some due diligence on these outdoor brands. Winnebago: Earnings and Guidance Providing Momentum into Next Year Legendary former hedge fund manager Larry Benedict built his reputation by delivering clarity in the markets when others were overwhelmed by noise. That's exactly what makes today's message so important: on this final "end of the year" deadline, Larry is laying out everything you can access for just $19. Learn this time-tested strategy today Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE: WGO) saw a boom in sales when COVID-19 accelerated demand for outdoor travel and recreation. But since making a new all-time high in March 2021, the stock fell more than 50% as sales slowed and earnings beats became rarer. After bottoming out in 2024, Winnebago is now showing signs of a turnaround. The company has posted three consecutive earnings beats, including an impressive fiscal Q1 2026 report that showed revenue growth of more than 12% year-over-year (YOY). Despite tariff risks, Winnebago reported a nearly 400-basis-point gain in operating margin and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion. 
Quick Look - Outdoor recreation is an industry that's shown strong growth since COVID-19 vaccines became available in 2021.
- Companies in this sector typically cater to high-net-worth clients, which is a bonus in the current economic environment.
- The following three outdoor stocks have both technical and fundamental tailwinds entering 2026.
Winnebago may still be in a stage where only technical traders have detected the change in momentum. The stock trades at about 12 times forward earnings and 0.43 times sales, and shares are up nearly 30% in the last three months. The trend reversal is visible on the chart: the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has crossed back over the 200-day SMA to form a Golden Cross. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has also turned positive, confirming the new uptrend and suggesting this wave of buying has some strength behind it. Yeti Holdings: Mitigating Tariffs with Sales Growth Tariff policy in recent years was a major headwind for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), the popular cooler and outdoor drinkware maker whose Tundra, Hopper, and Rambler products are designed for durability and temperature control. Despite those challenges, Yeti has demonstrated steady sales growth by leaning on its higher-end customers and expanding into new product categories such as travel mugs, apparel and footwear, and outdoor cookware. The company's Q3 2025 earnings report was full of positives: EPS and revenue beats despite a 230-basis-point drag to gross margin from tariffs. International sales grew 14% YOY in the quarter, and management increased the share repurchase program to $300 million for 2025, signaling confidence in the business. 
Technical tailwinds are forming as well. After trading near the 50-day SMA for much of the year, a Golden Cross formed in September and the stock followed with a roughly 30% breakout over three months. Shares now trade well above the former 50-day SMA support level, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the overbought threshold of 70. Acushnet Holdings: Don't Bet Against Golfers Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) is the parent company of well-known golf brands Titleist, Pinnacle, KJUS, and FootJoy. Unlike the other two stocks discussed here, Acushnet has underperformed the S&P 500 since April. Still, golf participation continues to grow—42.7 million people played in 2024—with notable increases among women and people of color. Companies like Acushnet have also invested in off-course programs such as TopGolf to drive interest in the sport, and those initiatives are contributing to growth across segments. Acushnet's Q3 2025 earnings report noted growth across all four brands, including 14% YOY growth in the smaller premium brand KJUS. Management raised its full-year 2025 revenue range to $2.52 billion–$2.56 billion and now expects to mitigate most of the anticipated $70 million tariff headwind in 2026. 
GOLF shares have solid support at the 50-day SMA, and investors seeking new entry points may have one as the price has recently pulled back to that level. The moving averages and RSI indicate an uptrend with underlying momentum, so this pullback looks more like a buying opportunity than a trend reversal.
