Winner: Ferrari, whose margins are on par with Apple and Hermes. But the real winner may be Apple, the only tech company to become a luxury brand.

Winner: Ulta, the beauty retailer growing faster than Amazon thanks to its omnichannel strategy.

Winner or loser? Microsoft, which still powers 90% of desktop computers, although installs have been slower than anticipated.

Plus, Scott strikes a pose.
