Additionally, Arani says that Michael Kors Holdings has shown expanding margins, efficient use of capital and multiple expansion. One of the big drivers has been the company’s strong same-sales performance, he adds.

“They have been showing same-store sales growth very consistently. On top of that they have been growing stores and adding new products, among other things. This is therefore an example of the kind of company we look for,” Arani said.
