Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Men's Wearhouse as a

buy

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • MW's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 8.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 14.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
  • The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Specialty Retail industry. The net income increased by 289.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $12.26 million to $47.78 million.
  • Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 182.11% to $45.93 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, MENS WEARHOUSE INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -11.19%.
  • 49.21% is the gross profit margin for MENS WEARHOUSE INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 5.19% trails the industry average.
  • MENS WEARHOUSE INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MENS WEARHOUSE INC swung to a loss, reporting -$0.02 versus $1.65 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.80 versus -$0.02).
