AI Analysis

Clarus is a small outdoor-products company with a $135.5M market capitalization and 390 employees. Its climbing and outdoor apparel brands may have niche recognition, but the financial record shows little evidence of a durable moat. In fiscal 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $250.4M, net income was $-46.6M, and diluted EPS was $-1.21. In fiscal 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31, revenue was $264.3M, net income was $-52.3M, and diluted EPS was $-1.37. In fiscal 2023, the year ended 2023-12-31, revenue was $286.0M, net income was $-10.1M, and diluted EPS was $-0.27. Sales have shrunk and losses have been large. The latest filed quarter is better: in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $56.2M, net income was $4.7M, and diluted EPS was $0.12. But in fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-03-31, net income was $-3.3M. So profitability is not yet a trend. Trailing free cash flow is $-422,000, a FairStock-calculated FCF yield of -0.3%. Low debt, with D/E of 0.09, helps. At the 2026-10-13 close of $3.54, FairStock calculations show P/B 0.68, P/E -4.37, ROE -14.87%, and ROCE -2.23%. A price below book can be attractive, but negative returns and a FairStock Altman Z-score of -0.17 are warning signs. The 2.79% dividend yield merits scrutiny when free cash flow is negative. FairStock's Lynch category is none because the company lost money in each of the last four years. This is a speculative turnaround, not a classic Graham bargain.

In plain English: Clarus makes outdoor gear and clothing, including climbing equipment and apparel. The business has been weak overall: it lost money in each of the last four years, though the latest quarter showed a small profit. At $3.54 on 2026-10-13, the stock looks inexpensive relative to the company’s accounting value, but that cheapness comes with real uncertainty because profits have not been consistent.
