Signet Jewelers Q3 Earnings Report

Investing.com — Signet Jewelers (NYSE:SIG) experienced a decline of over 12% in premarket trading on Thursday following disappointing Q3 earnings and revenue figures.

The company's Q3 earnings per share (EPS) were $0.24, missing analysts' expectations of $0.31. Revenue totaled $1.3 billion, which fell short of the consensus forecast of $1.37 billion.

Adjusted operating income was reported at $16.2 million, below the estimated $19.9 million. Inventory levels at the end of the quarter stood at $2.14 billion.

Joan Hilson, Chief Financial and Operating Officer, stated, "The Signet team delivered Q3 results within our expectations, reflecting a nearly 3-point sequential improvement in same-store sales."

She added that new fashion merchandise, which has a higher transaction value, and a continued recovery in engagement helped maintain average transaction value and merchandise margin despite a competitive environment.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Signet provided revenue guidance between $2.38 billion and $2.46 billion, which is slightly lower than the $2.445 billion projected by analysts.
