Columbia Sportswear Raises Outlook on International Sales, Stock Drops After Stifel Downgrade
Columbia Sportswear Co. lifted its full‑year sales and earnings guidance after second‑quarter revenue of $614.4 million topped analysts’ $605.6 million estimate. The beat was driven by strong international demand, with U.S. sales falling 4 percent. Brand performance showed Columbia up 1 percent, Prana up 14 percent, Mountain Hardwear up 6 percent and Sorel down 14 percent. Earnings per share came in at 52 cents, beating a consensus loss forecast of about 41 cents, helped by a $0.93‑per‑share tariff‑refund credit. CEO Tim Boyle said the underlying results were in line with expectations once the refund impact was removed and noted that macro‑economic and geopolitical headwinds would moderate the second‑half outlook, though full‑year guidance remains within prior ranges.
Analyst Stifel reduced its price target for Columbia Sportswear from $70 to $67, a 4.3 percent cut, while keeping a Buy rating. The downgrade prompted the stock to fall 5.9 percent to $59.09. The company later held its Q2 earnings call, featuring Boyle and other executives, where forward‑looking statements and risk factors were discussed.
