COLMColumbia Sportswear Company
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in, cheap against its own history, and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−3% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 2% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 14.9 vs a 19.1 median over 41 quarters (−22% vs median).
Sector median 16.2× across 156 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
