The Great Outdoors

Bradley Goldhar - Jun 23, 2023

With summer officially here and the kids finishing up their school year, families are gearing up for their vacations and time spent in the great outdoors. Camping is a popular activity and what’s better than heading to a campsite in a recreation vehicle (RV). Or how about time spent by a lake and zipping around in a personal watercraft, cruising on a pontoon boat or casting a line off a fishing boat. Gerrick Johnson and Tristan Thomas-Martin are the BMO Capital Markets analysts covering the leisure sector and are positive on the prospects for most of the companies in their coverage universe.
