On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR CO — ticker symbol COLM. SEC filings have been screened by our Benford's Law software, for quarterly 10Q and annual 10K filings from 5/7/2020 to 2/27/2025
for COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR CO under CIK number 0001050797.
For filings made in XBRL (eXtensible
Business Reporting Language) format, our algorithm extracts all "tagged" numbers presented by the company; for any non-XBRL
filings our algorithm uses its own interal set of rules to extract what it believes to be numbers as found throughout the filings. The format
found for each filing is presented below together with the results for COLM, with the percentage of found numbers beginning with each digit
(1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's) charted against the "normal" range observed throughout our coverage universe, as
well as the "normal" range for COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR CO based on the past COLM filings our system processed in the past.
| Benford's Law Stocks Score for COLM = 79 | ||
Starting from a possible score of 100, we made the following score deductions: • We deducted points upon observing the 2's percentage was above the typical coverage universe range. • We deducted points upon observing the 2's percentage was above the company's typical historical range. • The 8's percentage was higher than the 7's percentage, increasing the penalty multiplier. • We deducted points (includes the impact of penalty multiplier) upon observing the 8's percentage was above the typical coverage universe range. • We deducted points (includes the impact of penalty multiplier) upon observing the 8's percentage was above the company's typical historical range. • We deducted point upon observing the 9's percentage was below the company's typical historical range. |

While the above COLM 10K Filed 2/27/2025 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older
COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR CO filings processed by our Benford's Law Stocks algorithm, to see how the company's filings "typically look" on a
Benford's Law analysis. Below we repeat the 10K Filed 2/27/2025 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across
our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical COLM 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed
historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
