Special Report 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsReported by Dan Schmidt. Published: 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 activity. Today, we'll break down three outdoor brand stocks that are 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 more than 5 million jobs in 2023. Outdoor recreation has also benefited from a K-shaped recovery, since wealthier consumers are the primary customers for motor homes, boats, camping gear, and outdoor sports equipment. The following three outdoor companies have bucked weak consumer sentiment to produce strong results and outsized stock gains over the last quarter. If you're looking to add winners to your portfolio outside the tech sector, consider conducting due diligence on these outdoor brands. Winnebago: Earnings and Guidance Providing Momentum into Next Year Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE: WGO) saw a sales boom during the COVID-19 era as consumers embraced RV travel. But after making an all-time high in March 2021, the stock fell more than 50% as sales slowed and earnings beats became rare. After bottoming 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. Despite tariff concerns, Winnebago reported a gain of nearly 400 basis points in operating margin and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $2.8 billion–$3.0 billion. 
Key Points - 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 be entering a phase where technical traders have first recognized the change in momentum. The stock trades at roughly 12 times forward earnings and 0.43x sales, and shares are up nearly 30% over the last three months. The trend reversal is visible on the chart, with the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossing above the 200-day SMA to form a Golden Cross. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has also turned positive, confirming the new uptrend and suggesting the buying momentum has some underlying strength. Yeti Holdings: Mitigating Tariffs with Sales Growth Recent tariff policy has been a significant headwind for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), the popular cooler and outdoor drinkware maker behind the Tundra, Hopper, and Rambler lines. Despite those pressures, Yeti has delivered steady sales growth by leaning on higher-end customers and expanding into categories such as travel mugs, apparel and footwear, and outdoor cookware. The company's Q3 2025 earnings report included several positives: beats on both EPS and revenue despite a 230-basis-point drag to gross margin from tariffs. International sales grew 14% year over year in the quarter, and management boosted its share-repurchase authorization 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 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, while the 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 continues to expand, with 42.7 million people playing in 2024 and notable growth among women and people of color. Companies like Acushnet have also invested in off-course concepts such as Topgolf to drive interest, and those initiatives are supporting growth across segments. Acushnet's Q3 2025 earnings report showed growth across all four brands, including 14% year-over-year growth at 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 roughly $70 million tariff headwind in 2026. 
GOLF shares have found strong support at the 50-day SMA, and investors seeking new entry points may have one now that the stock has pulled back to that level. The moving averages and RSI point to an uptrend with underlying momentum, so this pullback looks more like a buying opportunity than a trend reversal.
