The $7.00 drop in price after the earnings report seemed a bit irrational. I own shares in JOSB and feel this is a good time to add to my position. They have $252 million in cash and no debt. Based on a price of 47.17, their PE ratio is 15.32.… More

Good management calls and a pretty straight forward easy to understand growth model. Got hit pretty hard last quarter to bring into buy range.

Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB) has multiple initiatives to drive growth for years and to transition to higher margin products. I feel that due to these initiatives and growth potential, JOSB is currently undervalued at a forward PE of 14x. The push toward higher margin products is necessary due to the recent appreciation in input costs such as cotton and wool.

The shift to higher margin products will take place in the tuxedo rental, Big & Tall and the tailored clothing segments, with the goal to move margins higher than the 10% they are today.

Brick & mortar and ecommerce expansion plans include driving traffic to international ecommerce sites and adding 40 to 50 new brick & mortar stores.

The surge in commodity prices affects JOSB’s margins as cotton stayed at its all time highs and didn’t dip below $120/lbs for the entirety of Q2. These prices could pressure JOSB’s profitability.

Using 5-year-high valuations for F P/E, PB, and PS and a PEG ratio of 1, I feel that a fair 12-month price for JOSB is $58, a 13% premium to where it currently trades.
