YETI Holdings YETI
YETI Holdings scores good on business quality (6.1 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What YETI Holdings does
YETI Holdings designs and sells premium coolers, drinkware, and outdoor equipment, making its money by selling direct-to-consumer and through wholesale channels to outdoor enthusiasts.
- What it does best
YETI turns high-end coolers into status symbols, driving a gross margin of 57.0% that beats peers like MAT at 47.6%. This pricing power stems from extreme brand loyalty and cult-like product durability that resists discounting.
- The main risk
YETI is betting heavily beyond drinkware to ignite stalled momentum, but if new product categories fail to resonate with consumers, top-line growth could remain anchored near its current 2.1% rate.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin of 10.1% reflects stable operations, though scale benefits remain muted as growth cools.
The intangible brand asset locks in loyal consumers, backed by an 83rd sector percentile gross margin that shows rivals struggle to match its pricing power.
Revenue grew 2.1% over the latest period, showing a slow-growth profile that is fading compared to historical output.
Debt-to-equity sits at a modest 0.1x with net cash of $115 million, while free cash flow reached $256 million, showing strong balance-sheet reality getting sturdier.
Insiders
