YETI Holdings, Inc. (YETI) Soars to 52-Week High, Time to Cash Out?

Shares of Yeti (YETI) have been strong performers lately, with the stock up 17.5% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $51.89 in the previous session. Yeti has gained 12.9% since the start of the year compared to the -7.8% move for the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the 0.4% return for the Zacks Leisure and Recreation Products industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?

The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on May 14, 2026, Yeti reported EPS of $0.26 versus consensus estimate of $0.17.

For the current fiscal year, Yeti is expected to post earnings of $2.87 per share on $2.01 in revenues. This represents a 15.73% change in EPS on a 7.55% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $3.28 per share on $2.15 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 14.29% and 6.74%, respectively.

Valuation Metrics

While Yeti has moved to its 52-week high in the recent past, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

Yeti has a Value Score of C. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 17.4X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 19.4X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 17.5X versus its peer group's average of 15.7X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.33. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks Rank

We also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Yeti currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Yeti passes the test. Thus, it seems as though Yeti shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.
