This stock is way over sold with steady western world business and a growing business in China where a high percentage of the population wears glasses and emerging middle class will accelarate this company's growth.

I've owned this stock since its IPO in 1991.

It always beats analysts forecasts and has consistently expanded into various countries. They're very good at improving the quality of their takovers and opening new stores.

The fundamentals of this LUX is not very attractive. High debt ratio, G&A expenses, and AR. As for a growth stock, it pays too generous in dividend. As a mature stocks, it use too much money to buy back stock.

If I keep staring at this screen long enough, I'll need a new pair of glasses or contacts. And so will you.

Superb leadership and management, family owns huge stake yet for goes nepotism. Long history of very profitable eyewear production and was a leader in selling direct rather than thru distributors. Bought Lenscrafters and other acquisions that management could understood and diversified.

Luxottica is a high-end sunglasses and watches company out of Milan, Italy. Milan is in northern Italy, near Swizerland, and that's important because southern Italians haven't been able to trust or cooperate outside the immediate family for nearly 2000 years now, according to War and Peace and War, a new book about world history. The northern Italians do much better, and can even run moderately large corporations. LUX qualifies as large-cap at 12.8B. It has been buying up retail outlet chains worldwide, and now controls 5700 stores on every continent. Here in Plano TX I notice that expensive sunglasses continue to be important fashion accessories for the wealty and stylish, so I expect LUX to do well.
