Low Visibility at Columbia Sportswear (COLM) Keeps Some Analysts on Sidelines

Following up on the company’s Q3 earnings report, Canaccord Genuity maintained a Hold rating on Columbia Sportswear (NASDAQ: COLM) with price target of $50.00

While EPS beat estimates ($1.88 vs. 1.65 expected), the positive results were offset by lower Q4 guidance. Cannaccord now expects Q4 EPS of $1.27 vs. $1.45 previously.

“While we are impressed by COLM's management of the business during a host of challenges (e.g., macro and weather), we are reluctant to get constructive on the shares until Q4 sell through materializes and visibility improves,” said analyst Camilo Lyon.
