SECOND TEAM Robert Drbul  Barclays Capital

After three years in first place, Robert Drbul of Barclays Capital slips to second — but he retains a loyal following: “Bob follows both retailers and manufacturers and is able to provide color about how trends seen in some companies will impact others in his coverage universe,” explains one longtime client. Drbul initiated coverage on Deckers Outdoor Corp., a casual-footwear designer and manufacturer headquartered in Goleta, California, in November with a buy recommendation, at $62.56, citing the company’s limited-distribution strategy and potential for international expansion. The stock had raced to $88.96 by the end of August, for a 42.2 percent gain that bested the sector by 29.1 percentage points.
