Columbia Sportswear's (COLM) Q4 results showed that its sales and margin headwinds are likely to persist in the near term, UBS Securities said Wednesday.
The company's US sales fell 1% year-over-year, indicating that it is struggling to drive topline growth in its core market, according to the note.
Columbia Sportswear's EBIT margin outlook at the midpoint of the range also fell short of market expectations, UBS said, adding that the EBIT margin guidance suggests "there is more reinvestment ahead to reignite the company's topline growth, which in turn should limit SG&A leverage and margin recapture."
UBS, which cut its full-year 2025 EPS outlook by 4%, maintained a $60 price target and has a sell rating on the stock.
Shares were down 5.4% in recent trading.
