With $29.50 per share in net tangible assets, all future earnings of this company are valued at around $4 -- approximately equal to the average annual earnings over the past 7 years. The recent addition of a regular dividend is easily paid for with free cash flows.

Columbia stock is clobbered hard because the company and analysts predict further weakness. But for the first quarter 2009 Columbia came in at 20 cents/share, beating the analysts' prediction of 9 cents/share and the company's earlier estimate of 4 to 8 cents/share for the quarter. Beating estimates is what Columbia does. Consistently.

Very Strong Brand, High Quality Products. The only thing holding this one back is the overall tanking economy.

95% in its sector, no debt, NO DEBT, fantastic product, there is a reason Columbia has not fallen anywhere near as much as some of its competitors. Still, panic selling has led to a great buying opportunity. I just wish I had more available cash.

Very conservatively managed. Boyle family owns a sizable fraction of the stock, and Royce is the largest institutional owner (as of 10/08). Has been cash-flow positive every qtr but one for several years, and that qtr had a big writedown of accts recvable. Has begun competing in Europe, where their high-quality, warm clothing should sell well. EV/CFFO is nearly down to 4 now - screaming bargain territory. Negligible debt. Pays a nice 1.8% while you wait. I have owned the stock for real for quite a while, time to add it to CAPS while it is cheap.

Columbia Sportswear Company is involved in the design, manufacture, marketing, and distribution of active outdoor apparel primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia. It offers outerwear, sportswear, footwear, equipment, and related accessories.
Columbia has a lot of positives right now and that's why it's been on my watchlist for a while. The company has heavy inside ownership, the stock price has been hammered lately, and for a value investor like myself, means that you're paying a lower price for more earnings. It's like paying $10,000 for a Saturn one year and then paying that same $10,000 for a Ferrari the next. In addition it's a cash rich company with a clean balance sheet.
All good enough reasons for my money. Plus my man and long time Fool Tom G. is all over this company with praise.
Go Long,
Fool On!!!

I spend a lot of money on clothing from Columbia Sportswear. So it seems only fitting that you invest in companies that you already believe. Good company and great products.

Very popular retailer, has a historic downturn every summer (who buys parkas in July?) but continues to do well every holiday season. Very safe investment particularly with their new 'green' lines.

While they are slumping in a soft economy, this is still a top brand, especially with its "Titanium" premium outdoor apparel line. Greater "green" consciousness and expense of road and air travel is likely to lead to more vacations camping, as well as increasing numbers of city dwellers riding their bike to work, all of which is likely to increase their activewear sales based on their brand strength. One good "mother Gert Boyle, son Tim" commercial and all the commuter bikers and weekend warriors could be flocking to get the latest Columbia gear.
