Analysis

Columbia Sportswear Company (COLM) currently trades at $57.36, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $58.91, implying the stock looks roughly 2.7% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Columbia Sportswear Company generated revenue of $3.4B at a net margin of 5.0%. Revenue grew 0.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.3%. Net debt stands at $425M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $44.18 (bear case) to $73.64 (bull case); at $57.36, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 16% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 1% fair-value upside, at 3%, COLM screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Widest divergence: DCF Models ($71.64) versus Dividend Discount ($17.79). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
