    By Chad Henage - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, PVH, RL

    To say that Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS) has been an impressive growth story is an understatement. The company's growth has been nothing short of meteoric.

    By Chad Henage - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, PVH, RL

    I'll readily admit that sometimes in the past I was too reliant on analysts projections.

    By Damon Churchwell - February 26, 2013 | Tickers: PVH, SMTC, VFC

    Semtech's (NASDAQ: SMTC) buyout of Canadian firm Gennum last March had an immediate impact on its earnings.

Still, Semtech is a resilient company, and the next 12 months look to be better in terms of bottom-line comparisons.
