This Month's Featured News Fresh Air, Fresh Highs: 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsSubmitted by Dan Schmidt. Date Posted: 12/27/2025. 
Summary - Outdoor recreation is an industry that has shown strong growth since the 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.
- Winnebago, Yeti, and Acushnet each have both technical and fundamental tailwinds entering 2026.
The outdoor recreation industry is a larger part of the economy than you might think. Despite perceptions to the contrary, Americans enjoy the great outdoors. We hike, bike, and travel across a vast network of parks, and outdoor recreation is a major driver of economic growth. Bitcoin grabs headlines, but smart money likes this token
My research team has identified the token positioned at the absolute center of this incoming capital flood— a project so fundamentally essential to the crypto ecosystem that institutional investors simply cannot ignore it. Click here to get all the details 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. Even when consumer sentiment sours, higher-income households remain the primary customers for companies selling motorhomes, boats, premium coolers, camping gear, and sports equipment. Three outdoor companies have bucked the narrative to produce strong results and outsized stock gains over the last quarter. If you're looking to add non-tech winners to your portfolio, these outdoor brands deserve a closer look. Winnebago: Earnings Beats and Higher Guidance Fuel a Late-2025 Turnaround Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE: WGO) saw a boom in sales when COVID-19 was raging, as consumers opted to take their living spaces outdoors. But since making a new all-time high in March 2021, the stock had fallen more than 50% as sales slowed and earnings beats became rare. 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 threats, 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 billion. 
Winnebago may still be in a phase where mostly technical traders have noticed the change in momentum. The stock trades at just 12x forward earnings and 0.43x sales, and shares are up nearly 30% in the last three months. The trend reversal is visible on the chart, with the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossing back above the 200-day SMA to form a Golden Cross. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has also reversed, confirming the new uptrend and suggesting this wave of buying momentum has some strength behind it. Yeti Holdings: Premium Demand Helps the Brand Absorb Tariff Pressure The Trump administration's aggressive tariff policy posed a major challenge for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), the popular cooler and outdoor drinkware maker whose Tundra, Hopper, and Rambler products are built for durability and temperature control. Despite those headwinds, Yeti has shown steady sales growth by leaning on its higher-end customers and expanding into new categories such as travel mugs, apparel and footwear, and outdoor cookware. The company's Q3 2025 earnings report was full of positive news: 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. 
Technical tailwinds are forming as well. After trading along the 50-day SMA for most of the year, a Golden Cross formed in September and the stock followed with a roughly 30% breakout in three months. Shares now trade well above the former 50-day support level while the RSI remains below the overbought threshold of 70. Acushnet Holdings: Don't Bet Against Golfers—and Don't Ignore the Chart Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) is the parent company of popular golf equipment brands Titleist, Pinnacle, KJUS and FootJoy. Unlike the other two names 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 strong gains among women and players of color. Acushnet has also invested in off-course programs such as Topgolf to broaden interest in the sport, and those initiatives are paying dividends across its brands. Acushnet's Q3 2025 earnings report noted growth in all four of its brands, including 14% YOY growth in the smaller premium KJUS line. 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 show strong support at the 50-day SMA, and investors looking for new entry points may have one now as the price has dropped 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.
