Did SIG Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results

Signet Jewelers posted a meaningful turnaround in its fiscal first quarter of 2026, reporting revenue of $1.54 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.18, up from $1.11 a year ago, as the jewelry retailer swung back to positive comparable sales growth for the first time after a prolonged stretch of declines. The clearest signal of momentum was a 2.5% same-store sales gain, a sharp reversal from the negative 8.9% comp posted in the year-ago quarter, with Kay, Zales, and Jared all delivering sequential improvement. Merchandise Average Unit Retail climbed approximately 8.0%, and lab-grown diamond fashion jewelry sales surged 60%, underscoring the early traction of CEO J.K. Symancyk's "Grow Brand Love" strategy. Gross margin expanded 100 basis points to 38.8%, while adjusted operating income rose to $70.30 million from $57.80 million. Encouraged by the results, management raised the low end of its full-year guidance, now projecting adjusted diluted EPS of $7.70 to $9.38 and total sales of $6.57 billion to $6.80 billion.

Key Takeaways
  • Positive same store sales growth of 2.5%, with all three largest brands (Kay, Zales, Jared) showing sequential comp improvement from Q4
  • Merchandise Average Unit Retail (AUR) increased approximately 8.0%
  • Gross margin rate expanded 100 basis points to 38.8% driven by gross merchandise margin expansion and fixed cost leverage
  • Adjusted operating margin expanded to 4.6% from 3.8% year-over-year
  • Growth in both Bridal and Fashion categories driven by Grow Brand Love strategy
  • Refined promotional strategy and inventory management with sales improvement outpacing inventory growth

“We delivered positive same store sales growth each month of the quarter, and into May, by bolstering our offerings at key price points and continuing the evolution of our assortment. Our three largest brands – Kay, Zales, and Jared – all saw sequential comp sales improvement from the fourth quarter on higher margins, highlighting the impact of our outsized focus on our larger brands.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook

Signet raised the low end of its full-year Fiscal 2026 guidance while maintaining the high end. Updated FY26 outlook: total sales of $6.57 to $6.80 billion (previously $6.53 to $6.80 billion), same store sales of (2.0%) to +1.5%, adjusted operating income of $430 to $510 million (previously $420 to $510 million), adjusted EBITDA of $615 to $695 million, and adjusted diluted EPS of $7.70 to $9.38 (previously $7.31 to $9.10). The EPS guidance increase reflects repurchase of more than 5% of outstanding shares year to date. For Q2, guidance includes total sales of $1.47 to $1.51 billion, same store sales of (1.5%) to +1.0%, adjusted operating income of $53 to $73 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $99 to $119 million. The company expects to absorb current tariffs within the adjusted operating income range provided but excludes potential impact from any new tariffs or reciprocal tariffs. Planned capital expenditures of approximately $145 to $160 million for FY26 with net square footage decline of 1% to flat. Annual tax rate expected at 23% to 25%.
