Following the results, Signet raised its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS guidance to $10.45–$12.15, up from its previous range of $9.20–$11.00. It maintained its full-year revenue forecast of $6.7 billion–$6.9 billion and revised its same-store sales outlook to between flat and 2.5% growth.
Management said the higher earnings forecast reflects strong year-to-date operating performance, additional share repurchases, refunds of previously paid tariffs, and improved terms under a new consumer credit agreement. Signet also announced a $125 million accelerated share-repurchase program.
The strong report sent Signet Jewelers (NYSE: SIG) shares approximately 20% higher, reflecting investor optimism about improving margins, same-store sales growth, and the company’s increased earnings outlook.
