one of ten shares in IC this week for your ISA.

The shares are up 58% in the past year alone. But there is a good reason to think they could move higher still, especially after extra investment in marketing saw bumper like-for-like sales growth of 8% over its christmas quarter. Whilev many retailers are cutting store space and finding it difficult to tackle multichannel retailing, N Brown started out as a home shopping company- so like more mainstream rival Next, thats given it a head start in building a successful online proposition, which now makes up half of sales. Now, it's even opening a small number of UK high-street stores to attract new customers and increase awareness of its brand. So far,the trials have proved successful, and a decision on further rollout could come soon. Analysts believe this could add as much as 5% to sales directly over the next two years . Management is also continuing over-seas investment , with particular eye on the $35bn plus -sized US womenswear market, and its likely that newly appointed chief executive Angela Spindler could move more aggressively to capture this prize - that could prompt a further upward re-rating of the shares.

N Brown Group PLC (BWNG:LSE) set a new 52-week high during today's trading session when it reached 458.60. Over this period, the share price is up 95.89%.

An encouraging acceleration in top-line and gross margin performance in H2 vs H1 reflects the successful impact of a customer recruitment exercise, (+6% active customers). A strong bounce back in product gross margin (+220bp in H2 vs -90bp in H1) drove a 53% gross margin (flat vs H1 -160bp). A strong online platform (now 55% sales growing at 15%) in combination with its traditional catalogue business, a small but fast-growing international business and store format trial, give management confidence in the current-year outlook.
