In the US division, sales were $575.6m compared to $563.0m in the third quarter last time.

Same store sales increased 1.2% compared to an increase of 13.9% in the third quarter last year, driven primarily by Kay same store sales increase of 5.5%

Chief executive Mike Barnes said: "We delivered another quarter of record earnings per share due to strong execution of our strategies by our team. I would like to thank all at Signet who contributed to these results.

"Turning to the fourth quarter, our thoughts are with all those impacted by Superstorm Sandy, and we wish everyone affected a return to normalcy as quickly as possible.

"The storm created some initial disruption and November thus far has been challenging.

"With the majority of sales ahead of us, we are well-prepared for the holiday season with exciting new merchandise, terrific marketing, and our talented well-trained sales associates ready to provide customers a great shopping experience."

Signet issued a profit warning in September 2012 but since then the stock has ballooned to an all time high and again today up 4% today 2nd Nov.
Brokers are tripping over themselves to advise clients to buy - reminds me of Goldman and mulberry at £25, today mulberry is at £10
Is this the time to short or is Signet a beautiful swan who will just keep on swimming against the tide of a fragile global economy?

Cracking results considering how difficult things are. Should be enough to see
this hit $50 a share when the markets open in America imho.

[goggin] 18/5/2012 13:38

Like Mulberry group, away over valued at this price and at its high of around £32.00, being propped up and tipped by the super cool guys at Goldman and friends, however, i believe this is a screaming short, if not before the results on the 24th of May, immediately afterwards on any spike up to £32.00
Be aware of hugh swing on this stock, can open with a 300 point wide spread and one could easily get stopped out on a stop which is only 200 points away. I place stops at 600 points from entry so as not to get caught at the opening.
Good luck if you decide to go long or Short.

[billbyrne] 04/1/2012 16:13

It looks like we're building up for another push on the £30 ceiling. Come
on, lets break through it this time.

[billbyrne] 01/12/2011 20:59

Buy recommendation in the US

[billbyrne] 22/11/2011 13:02

Be interesting to see how the american market sees these results. Very good figures when you take into account how the high street is performing.

Broker upgrade to buy

[alwaysbeclosing] 10/1/2011 20:44

sales update tomorrow 1330 GMT. I'm shorting this, at these highs and current economic climate in US and UK its going down

[k mon] 09/1/2011 11:25

- I can't believe this has had such a meteoric rise -
- Tempted to have a little short from here.

[25babies] 24/11/2010 15:21

Yep!

Got in some 3 years ago at just over 1000p. Thought that I had lost a bundle when it fell to some 500p not a long-time after. Now at a 5 year high and showing a healthy profit. Low end retailer probably benefitting from recession inasmuch that people always buy jewellery and in these difficult times they have to re-adjust what they can afford.

Maybe time to get out is when the economy starts to pick up - particularly in the States.

[25babies] 06/5/2009 20:13

It keeps climbing - and still no news!

[25babies] 17/4/2009 08:20

Seems to have comfortably broken the £10 barrier - anyone seen any press comment - atfer all this share has more than doubled in a few months ina static market.

[25babies] 02/4/2009 08:52

Nice to read the GS forecast in the light of a doubling of the share price in the last 2 months. Has the rapd movement been solely the result of sorting out loan and funding issues? Is there something else afoot. Even thinking about selling and making a small profit - long time since I even had that option on my portfolio.

Goldman Sachs ups its rating to 'neutral' from 'sell'

Shares in Signet Jewelers jump 14.5 percent after Goldman Sachs ups
its rating to 'neutral' from 'sell' as part of a major European retail review
focusing on working capital.

The broker says following estimate and target price revisions made across
the sector, it is removing Signet from the 'sell' list as it sees greater
downside potential elsewhere.

Goldman Sachs says it believes the Anglo-American jeweller will continue to
face the medium-term pressures that have already forced some of its U.S. peers
out of business and it thinks the trading environment will be difficult on both
sides of the Atlantic through Christmas and into next year.

However, the broker adds, given that commodity prices have eased, it
believes Signet will not face the added pressure of having to push price
increases through, as it did this year.

Goldman Sachs has reduced its 12-month target price for Signet to 476.2
pence from 846.1
