It's almost summer--do you want some new sunglasses? If you do, you have to go through Luxottica. They own Ray-Ban, REVO, Oakley and 9 more brands. If you want to be more fashionable, they produce the sunglass lines of designers including Burberry, Chanel, and Tiffany. On top of all that, they own major distributiors like LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut. Plus, their gross and net margins is twice the industry average (industry? doesn't that imply they have competitors?)
Want more? They have a very solid price to book ratio and a reasonable dividend.
Two quick concerns: they have a lot of debt and don't seem to be as efficient as competitors. Overall, though, I like this company a lot.
