This Month's Exclusive Story 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsReported by Dan Schmidt. Posted: 12/23/2025. 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 Tailwinds Despite a reputation to the contrary, Americans love the great outdoors. We hike, bike, and travel across a vast network of parks, and outdoor recreation is a meaningful driver of economic growth. Today we'll examine three outdoor-brand stocks that began breaking out in the final weeks of 2025 and look positioned for 2026 tailwinds. Three Outdoor Stocks with Strong Tailwinds Entering 2026 The outdoor recreation industry is a larger part of the economy than you might think. By the end of 2023, outdoor recreation generated more than $1.2 trillion in annual economic output, accounting for over 2.3% of U.S. GDP. More than 3% of the nation's workforce was employed in outdoor services — more than 5 million jobs in 2023. Outdoor recreation has also benefited from the so-called K-shaped recovery, since higher-income consumers are the primary buyers of motor homes, boats, camping gear, and premium outdoor equipment. The three companies below have bucked weak consumer sentiment to deliver solid results and outsized stock gains over the past quarter. If you're looking to diversify beyond the tech sector, they deserve a spot on your due-diligence list. Winnebago: Earnings and Guidance Providing Momentum into Next Year Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE: WGO) saw a sales boom during the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers sought private, mobile travel options. After peaking in March 2021, the stock slid more than 50% as sales slowed and earnings beats became rare. After bottoming in 2024, Winnebago now shows signs of a turnaround. The company has reported three consecutive earnings beats, including an impressive fiscal Q1 2026 that posted revenue growth of more than 12% year over year (YOY). Despite tariff pressures, Winnebago reported nearly a 400-basis-point improvement in operating margin and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $2.8 billion–$3.0 billion. 
Key Takeaways - 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 an early-stage turnaround that technical traders have noticed. The stock trades at about 12 times forward earnings and 0.43 times sales, and shares are up nearly 30% over the past three months. The trend reversal shows on the chart: the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has crossed back above the 200-day SMA to form a Golden Cross, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned positive — suggesting this buying momentum has some substance behind it. Yeti Holdings: Mitigating Tariffs with Sales Growth The Trump administration's aggressive tariff policy created a headwind for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), the popular maker of durable coolers and drinkware such as Tundra, Hopper, and Rambler. Despite those pressures, Yeti has sustained sales growth by leaning on higher-end customers and expanding into product categories including travel mugs, apparel and footwear, and outdoor cookware. The company's Q3 2025 report contained several positives: EPS and revenue beats despite roughly a 230-basis-point drag to gross margin from tariffs, 14% YOY international sales growth in the quarter, and management boosting the share repurchase program to $300 million for 2025. 
Technical tailwinds are forming as well. After tracking the 50-day SMA for much of the year, a Golden Cross occurred in September and the stock followed with a roughly 30% advance over three months. Shares now trade well above the prior 50-day SMA level, while 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 Titleist, Pinnacle, KJUS and FootJoy. Unlike the other two names, Acushnet has underperformed the S&P 500 since April. Still, golf participation keeps rising — 42.7 million people played in 2024 — with notable growth among women and people of color. Off-course formats like TopGolf and other initiatives have helped broaden interest in the sport, supporting demand across segments. In Q3 2025 Acushnet reported growth across all four brands, including 14% YOY growth at premium KJUS. Management raised its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to $2.52 billion–$2.56 billion and now expects to offset most of an anticipated $70 million tariff headwind in 2026. 
GOLF shares have solid support at the 50-day SMA, and investors seeking entry points may find one now that the price has dipped back to that level. The moving averages and RSI point to an overall uptrend with underlying momentum, so this pullback looks more like a buying opportunity than a trend reversal.
