Signet raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $10.45 to $12.25, up from a prior range of $9.20 to $11. That new low end sits above the $10.28 per share analysts were expecting.
The raised outlook was driven by strong operating performance, additional share buybacks, tariff refunds, and a new consumer credit agreement, according to Chief Operating and Financial Officer Joan Hilson.
Same-store sales grew 2.2% in the quarter, beating the 1.9% Wall Street had penciled in. CEO J.K. Symancyk pointed to “high single-digit unit growth at higher price points” as a key driver.
Average unit retail rose around 6% across both the bridal and fashion jewelry segments. Growth was driven more by pricing than volume.
Analyst Take
Jefferies analyst Randal Konik said the quality of the quarter stands out more than the raw numbers. He called it evidence of “compounding execution” rather than a one-off result.
Konik described the setup heading into the holiday season as “a confident setup,” citing the guidance hike, expanded buyback program, and the secured credit partnership.
Credit Deal and Buybacks
Signet renewed its consumer credit agreement with Bread Financial, extending the partnership through December 2035. The deal includes improved technology, data-driven marketing analytics, and better customer support tools.
The company also plans to launch a $125 million accelerated share repurchase program. Hilson said this reflects Signet’s strong cash position and would bring year-to-date capital returns to around 12% of its recent market cap.
Signet reaffirmed its full-year sales projection of $6.7 billion to $6.9 billion and narrowed its same-store sales outlook to flat to up 2.5%, from a prior range of down nearly 1% to up 2.5%.
For Q3, the company guided sales of $1.37 billion to $1.41 billion, with same-store sales ranging from down 1% to up 2%. Analysts are currently forecasting $1.39 billion in sales and 1.3% same-store sales growth for the quarter.
Heading into Wednesday’s session, SIG was slightly down for the year against a 12% gain for the S&P 500.
