Aug 26 (Reuters) - Canada Goose's

controlling shareholder Bain Capital has received bids to take

the luxury goods maker private at a valuation of about $1.4

billion, CNBC reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with

the matter.

Private equity firm Bain, which acquired Canada Goose in

2013, is looking to offload its holding, with Goldman Sachs

advising on the sale, the report said.

However, it is holding off on a decision until more offers

roll in.

The company, which is listed in both Toronto and New York,

is valued at $1.18 billion, according to LSEG data.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Canada

Goose, Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs and the interested parties

did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Global dealmaking has reached $2.6 trillion, the highest for

the first seven months of the year since the 2021 pandemic-era

peak, as a quest for growth in corporate boardrooms. Private

equity, which had been sitting on the sidelines, has once again

been active.

CNBC said private equity firms Advent International and Boyu

Capital have made verbal offers to acquire Canada Goose, a

company best known for its parkas but which also produces

bombers, lightweight jackets, eyewear, rainwear, and

accessories.

Other prospective buyers include Shanghai-based apparel

manufacturer Bosideng International ( BSDGF ), and a consortium

formed by Hong Kong-listed sportswear maker Anta Sports Products ( ANPDF )

and private-equity firm FountainVest Capital,

according to the report.

Canada Goose posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly loss in

July, hit by higher costs from efforts to expand its retail

presence and promotional campaigns.

It had withheld its fiscal 2026 forecast in May due to

tariff uncertainty. But unlike the broader retail sector, it has

been able to partly shield itself from tariff impacts, thanks to

its domestically made products being exempt under the

U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact.
