Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Columbia Sportswear Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Columbia Sportswearhave underperformed the industry over the past six month, as the company has been facing challenges in the U.S. region, especially in its wholesale front. Several of its customers in the U.S have announced store closures, bankruptcies, or plans to restructure or liquidate. Further, Columbia and prAna brands are suffering setbacks in Korea as there is a general shift of consumer preference. Moreover, due to its significant exposure in the international markets, it remains prone to currency fluctuations. However the company has been gaining from the improved performance of its SOREL brand and growth in its Europe-direct business that favorably impacted the company’s top line during the second quarter of 2017. Columbia Sportswear is also on track with its Project CONNECT that aids accelerating its performance as a brand and consumer focused organization." (10/20/2017)
• 2. Wedbush analysts commented, "We are reiterating our OUTPERFORM rating and $72 price target on COLM as the 1Q17 is likely tracking well driven by DTC, making us confident for the balance of the year given the growing importance of this channel. COLM has levers to grow its global wholesale business but more importantly is controlling more of its own destiny through ecommerce (9% of sales) and overall DTC (37% of sales). As the year unfolds we believe there is opportunity to drive modest upside in sales and to a greater degree on the margin (cleaner channel inventories, sales mix and f/x tailwind). Finally the strategic operating review that will be largely completed later this summer addresses the question of what operating model the company should possess in order to drive the highest level of efficiency and productivity. We expect to hear more on this front on the 2Q17 conference call." (3/21/2017)
• 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We are downgrading COLM shares from Buy to Hold and lowering our 12 mos. target price from $68 to $60. Looking across 2017, we see revenue and earnings growth sufficient to support multiple expansion unlikely and are leery of multi-year structural headwinds including 1) retailer resistance to advance commitments, 2), excess capacity in the N. American outerwear market, and 3) channel partner retail footprint rationalization and the resulting pressure to volumes. We are taking a more conservative view on FY17 and FY18 estimates and lowering our 12-month target price to $60 from $68 reflecting a 19.5x P/E multiple on our FY18E estimate of $3.09 and a 10.5X TEV/EBITDA multiple on our FY18 EBITDA estimate of $363mn. While appreciative of Columbia's operating excellence, we are challenged to justify sufficient upside to support a Buy rating." (1/30/2017)
