Additional Reading from MarketBeat Fresh Air, Fresh Highs: 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsAuthored by Dan Schmidt. Published: 12/27/2025. 
At a Glance - 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 a reputation to the contrary, Americans enjoy the great outdoors. We hike, bike, and travel across a vast network of parks, and outdoor recreation is a meaningful driver of economic growth. A former hedge fund manager known for cutting through market noise is briefly opening access to his flagship trading strategy. In a short demo, he explains how his "One Ticker" approach works — and how readers can access the full service for a year at a steep discount. Watch the brief demo here 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 was employed in outdoor services, a figure that totaled more than 5 million jobs in 2023. Even when consumer sentiment is weak, 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 broader 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) enjoyed a sales boom during COVID-19 as consumers sought to bring indoor comforts outdoors. After making a new all-time high in March 2021, the stock fell more than 50% as sales slowed and earnings beats became rare. After bottoming out in 2024, Winnebago is 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 concerns, 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 a technical breakout in its early stages—only traders focused on indicators may have noticed the shift in momentum so far. The stock trades at about 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: the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossed back above the 200-day SMA to form a Golden Cross. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has also flipped positive, confirming the new uptrend and suggesting the buying momentum has some strength behind it. Yeti Holdings: Premium Demand Helps the Brand Absorb Tariff Pressure Aggressive tariff policies in recent years were a headwind for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), the popular cooler and outdoor drinkware maker behind Tundra, Hopper, and Rambler products. Despite those pressures, Yeti has delivered steady sales growth by leaning on 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 included 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 its share repurchase authorization to $300 million for 2025, signaling confidence in the business. 
Technical tailwinds are forming, too. After trading along the 50-day SMA for much 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 SMA 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, Acushnet has underperformed the S&P 500 since April. Still, golf participation remains strong, with 42.7 million people playing in 2024 and notable growth among women and people of color. Acushnet has also benefited from off-course programs like TopGolf that help drive interest in the sport. Acushnet's Q3 2025 earnings report showed growth across all four of its brands, including 14% YOY growth at 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 show strong support at the 50-day SMA. The recent pullback to that level may present an entry point for investors: moving averages and the RSI point to an uptrend with underlying momentum, making this dip more likely a buying opportunity than a trend reversal.
