Marcial: Jos. A Bank Is Dressed for Success

Marcial: Jos. A Bank Is Dressed for Success The menswear company's stock is soaring as investors admire its strong expense controls, savvy promotions, robust sales, and comfortable cash cushion By Gene Marcial Who says menswear is boring and unappreciated? Not Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB), which designs, makes, and sells apparel for men and boys, from underwear to formal wear, through its 460 retail stores in 42 states, the Internet, and its nationwide catalog. And on Wall Street, Jos. A. Bank is sought after not only as a sartorial mainstay but also for the allure of its shares, which have soared from a 52-week low of 15 a share on Nov. 21, 2008, to 46 on Oct. 20. The last time it traded this high was in 2007. "Sales of men's clothing have been brisk, and Jos. A.

Large institutional investors continue to add to their stakes, including Fidelity Management, which has accumulated a stake of 11.6% as of June 30, according to Bloomberg. Other large stakeholders that have also bought more shares include Barclays Global Investors, which owns 6.5%, and Vanguard Group with 5.2%. Jos. A. Bank's stock "holds our highest rank for timeliness," says Jerry W. ...
