The Cato Corporation
A fashion retailer running hundreds of specialty stores across the southeastern United States, offering apparel and accessories at low prices every day. Its store concepts include Cato (junior, missy, and plus sizes), It's Fashion and It's Fashion Metro (trendy family styles), and Versona (quality fashion and accessories, including the Cache brand). Most locations sit in strip shopping centers anchored by national discounters like Walmart Supercenters, and the company sources most of its merchandise directly from overseas manufacturers, mainly in Southeast Asia and Egypt.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: +3.0K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
