Barron's Highlights - Stocks to Watch Tomorrow

 (MW) Men's Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank share could see further gains, Barron's says

With slim-fit trends in mens suits and the demand for smart work clothes boosting sales, and strong plans for growth, shares of men's clothiers Men's Wearhouse (MW) and Jos. A. Bank (JOSB) look 'dressed for success', Barron's reports. Additionally, signs of an improving U.S. labor market are fattening

(KR) Kroger's stock could rise more than 30%, Barron's contends


 Kroger's (KR) overall business has fared better than some peers amid fierce competition from big-box stores like Target (TGT) and Wal-Mart Stores (WMT). Kroger continues to throw off free cash and has been buying back shares while increasing its dividend. The current yield is 2%. On average, analysts see
Kroger shares headed to about $26, though bulls think the stock could reach
