I see an exciting company that just started trading on the NYSE that I want to share with everyone.
Yeti Holdings (NYSE: YETI) is probably a familiar name to a lot of people.Yeti stepped into the US cooler and drink ware industry in 2006 and proceeded to quickly revolutionize the game.
Yeti shares just began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in late October under the ticker symbol YETI. That means investors can now buy shares and invest in Yeti.
Here’s why Yeti is an exciting and interesting company to follow.
Yeti is a clear industry leader with a reputation for selling some of the best coolers and drink ware products in the market. Coolers that can keep things cold for a ridiculously long amount of time.
I found a study from two years ago and it showed that the Yeti cooler kept ice for 3 days, 8 hours and 55 minutes.
Do expensive coolers hold ice longer? Yeti, Coleman, Buckwaters, Orca, Pelican test
Take a look at some images below.
Here’s an image of a soft cooler.
Here are some images of the Yeti Tumblers.
Raising the bar on the cooler industry has been good for business. Yeti just reported fourth-quarter results that gave shares a 15% jolt. Here are some more details from the press release.
- Net sales increased 19% to $241.2 million
- Gross margin improved 690 basis points to 53.0%
