Description: COLM Columbia Sportswear January 12, 2026

Columbia Sportswear Company (NASDAQ: COLM) designs, develops, markets and distributes outdoor-apparel, footwear and equipment across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Its product portfolio-hiking and trail-running apparel, cold-weather boots, fishing gear and lifestyle footwear-is sold through a mixed wholesale-to-retail model that includes specialty outdoor stores, large sporting-goods chains, department stores, e-commerce platforms and its own branded outlets, with brands that include Columbia, Mountain Hardwear, prAna and SOREL.

In FY 2023 the company reported roughly $4.3 billion in revenue, a 10 % year-over-year increase in e-commerce sales, and an operating margin of about 7 %, reflecting strong demand for outdoor recreation amid rising consumer confidence in discretionary spending. Inventory turnover improved to 3.2×, indicating better supply-chain efficiency, while the broader outdoor-apparel sector is benefitting from a post-pandemic “stay-active” trend that historically adds 3-4 % annual growth to category sales. However, exposure to raw-material price volatility and potential headwinds from inflation-driven cost pressures remain key risks to monitor.
