Just For You Fresh Air, Fresh Highs: 3 Premium Outdoor Brands with 2026 TailwindsReported by Dan Schmidt. Article Posted: 12/27/2025. 
Key Takeaways - 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 many realize. Americans enjoy hiking, biking and traveling across our vast network of parks, and outdoor recreation is a meaningful driver of economic growth. While President Trump's official salary is $400,000 per year... his tax returns reveal he's been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn't touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed. If you love investing in disruptive new companies... Discover how to invest in the fund Trump uses to collect this income >> As of 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 is employed in outdoor services, totaling more than 5 million jobs in 2023. Even when consumer sentiment is muted, higher-income households remain the main customers for companies selling motorhomes, boats, premium coolers, camping gear and sports equipment. Three outdoor companies have bucked the broader narrative with strong results and sizable stock gains over the last quarter. If you're looking to add non-tech winners to your portfolio, these outdoor brands merit a closer look. Winnebago: Earnings Beats and Higher Guidance Fuel a Late-2025 Turnaround Winnebago Industries Inc. (NYSE: WGO) enjoyed a sales boom during the pandemic as consumers sought to take the comforts of home outdoors. But after making an all-time high in March 2021, the stock fell more than 50% as sales slowed and earnings beats became rarer. 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. 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 still be in a phase where technical traders have first noticed the change in momentum. The stock trades at roughly 12x forward earnings and 0.43x 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. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has also turned higher, confirming an uptrend and suggesting this buying momentum has some strength. Yeti Holdings: Premium Demand Helps the Brand Absorb Tariff Pressure The previous administration's aggressive tariff policy created a headwind for Yeti Holdings Inc. (NYSE: YETI), known for durable coolers and insulated drinkware such as the Tundra, Hopper and Rambler. Despite those tariff pressures, Yeti has continued steady sales growth by leaning on its premium customer base and expanding into categories like travel mugs, apparel and footwear, and outdoor cookware. The company's Q3 2025 earnings report delivered EPS and revenue beats despite a roughly 230-basis-point drag to gross margin from tariffs. International sales grew 14% year-over-year in the quarter, and management increased its share repurchase program to $300 million for 2025. 
Technical tailwinds are emerging as well. After trading along the 50-day SMA for much of the year, a Golden Cross formed in September, followed by a roughly 30% breakout in three months. Shares now sit well above the former 50-day support, and 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 Titleist, Pinnacle, KJUS and FootJoy. Unlike the other two stocks here, Acushnet has underperformed the S&P 500 since April. Still, golf participation continues to grow—about 42.7 million people played in 2024, with notable gains among women and people of color. Off-course programs such as Topgolf are helping broaden interest in the sport, benefiting companies across segments. Acushnet's Q3 2025 earnings report showed growth across all four brands, including 14% year-over-year growth for the smaller premium KJUS brand. Management raised its full-year 2025 revenue range to $2.52 billion–$2.56 billion and now expects to mitigate most of an anticipated $70 million tariff headwind in 2026. 
GOLF shares find strong support at the 50-day SMA, and investors seeking entry points may have one now as the price has pulled back to that level. The moving averages and RSI point to an uptrend with intact momentum, so this pullback looks more like a buying opportunity than a trend reversal.
