I like companies that have a track record of:

• Growing top line sales or revenue growth.
• Improving their operating margin.
• Growing profits.
• Growing earnings per share.
• Increasing dividends.
• Strong cash flow, conservative gearing and prudent financial management.
• Delivering a high return on invested capital.
• Market/category leadership.

Throw in a first class management team, and a share price that is trading on a respectable multiple below the ASX average.

Retailer JB Hi-Fi fits this to a tee.
