Bain Capital is evaluating offers to take luxury outerwear brand Canada Goose private in a deal that could value the Toronto- and New York-listed company at around $1.4bn, according to a CNBC report citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
Bain, which first invested in Canada Goose in 2013 and remains its controlling shareholder, has hired Goldman Sachs to advise on the process but is expected to hold off on a decision until additional bids are received. The company’s current market capitalisation stands at roughly $1.18bn, according to LSEG data show.
Private equity firms Advent International and Boyu Capital are understood to have submitted indicative offers, while strategic bidders – including China’s Bosideng International and a consortium formed by Anta Sports and FountainVest Capital – are also circling,
A sale would mark the end of Bain’s decade-long hold, during which Canada Goose expanded from a niche parka maker into a global luxury lifestyle brand. However, recent performance has been mixed, with the company reporting a larger-than-expected quarterly loss in July, driven by expansion costs and promotional spending, and withheld its fiscal 2026 guidance due to tariff uncertainty.
Neither Bain nor the company has commented publicly on the reported bids.
