Barclays initiates coverage on Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS) with an Overweight. PT $55.00.

Analyst, Robert S. Drbul, said, "The company has demonstrated industry-leading momentum, with revenue growth of 62.1% in FY12, including comps up 39.2%. We believe KORS can generate at least 20%-25% revenue growth and 25%-30% EPS growth over the next 3 - 5 years."

Drbul sees retail stores expanding from the current 237 to 600 (400 in N. America, 100 in Europe and 100 in Japan). Currently, KORS total international revenue is only 9%, whereas Coach (NYSE: COH) is 30% and Polo (NYSE: RL) is 36%. Point being, there's lots of opportunity for growth with wholesalers and its own retail stores.
