This Week's Featured Article Fresh Air, Fresh Highs: 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsSubmitted by Dan Schmidt. Date Posted: 12/27/2025. 
Article Highlights - 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—hiking, biking and traveling through our extensive park system—and outdoor recreation is a meaningful driver of economic growth. They wrote silver off as a "boring metal," but its move above $33 has forced analysts to reconsider what's really driving this market. With AI hardware, EVs, solar, and next-gen electronics all dependent on silver — while global supply continues to lag — this quiet setup is starting to look like one of the most overlooked opportunities in the commodities space.
Most investors still haven't connected the dots, which is why this new silver forecast guide breaks down the fundamentals behind the move, the real pressure building beneath the surface, and the steps to consider before silver becomes front-page news. Get the Silver Forecast Now 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, a figure that totaled more than 5 million jobs in 2023. Even when consumer sentiment cools, higher-income households remain the primary customers for motorhomes, boats, premium coolers, camping gear and sports equipment. Three outdoor companies have bucked the broader weakness 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 sales boom during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many consumers wanted to take the comforts of home outdoors. But after reaching an all-time high in March 2021, the stock fell more than 50% as sales cooled and earnings beats became rare. After hitting a low 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. Despite tariff threats, 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. 
Winnebago may be entering a phase where technical traders have first noticed the shift in momentum. The stock trades at roughly 12x forward earnings and 0.43x sales; shares have risen nearly 30% over the past 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) has also flipped positive, confirming the new uptrend and suggesting this wave of buying has some strength behind it. Yeti Holdings: Premium Demand Helps the Brand Absorb Tariff Pressure The Trump administration's aggressive tariff policy created notable headwinds for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), the maker of popular coolers and drinkware like the Tundra, Hopper and Rambler. Despite those tariff pressures, Yeti has maintained steady sales growth by leaning on higher-end customers and expanding into adjacent categories such as travel mugs, apparel, footwear and outdoor cookware. The company's Q3 2025 earnings report delivered multiple positives: EPS and revenue beats despite a roughly 230-basis-point hit to gross margin from tariffs, 14% year-over-year growth in international sales, and an increased share repurchase authorization of $300 million for 2025. 
Technical tailwinds are forming as well. After tracking the 50-day SMA for much of the year, a Golden Cross appeared in September and the stock followed with about a 30% breakout in three months. Shares now trade well above the former 50-day SMA support, 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 leading golf brands 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: about 42.7 million people played in 2024, with strong growth among women and people of color. Acushnet has also invested in off-course programs such as TopGolf to broaden interest in the sport, efforts that are paying off across its segments. Acushnet's Q3 2025 earnings report showed growth across all four brands, including 14% year-over-year growth for premium brand KJUS. Management raised its full-year 2025 revenue range to $2.52 billion–$2.56 billion and said it now expects to mitigate most of an anticipated $70 million tariff headwind in 2026. 
GOLF shares show solid support at the 50-day SMA, and the recent dip back to that level may present an entry point. Moving averages and RSI point to an underlying uptrend, making this pullback more likely a buying opportunity than the start of a reversal.
