12/11/2003 14:14 | Some nice positive action today, it has just hit 1.09p for the second time in the course of a steady rally from 1.06p this morning, presumably responding to broker comment, as follows, taken from today's 'Sharecast' bulletin : "UBS raised its price target on jewellery retailer Signet to 120p from 95p, keeping a 'neutral' rating" Signet Group plc is currently in the FTSE 350, but it is worth remembering that in September Signet was put on the reserve list for inclusion in the FTSE100. The next quarterly review is due in December, so provided at that point the share price justifies it, Signet may be relegated upwards. In which case it would enter an entirely new arena inhabited by Institutional investors ie. Pension and FTSE Tracker Funds etc. | mazarin | |

07/8/2003 23:37 | From FT.com.. Signet bucks trend with improved US sales By Maija Pesola Published: August 7 2003 15:40 | Last Updated: August 7 2003 15:40 Signet, the world's largest specialist jewellery chain, on Thursday said its key US sales had continued to improve, defying the country's sluggish consumer spending trends and uncertain economic climate. The company, which operates more than 1,000 stores in the US, including the Kay and Jared jewellery chains, said like-for-like sales in the US had increased 3.1 per cent to £224.6m ($361.6m) in the second quarter. This is an acceleration on the 1.1 per cent increase in US sales in the first quarter. Signet has recently faced tough challenges in the US market, which accounts for 70 per cent of its sales. A fragile economy has caused many shoppers to tighten their purse-strings on luxury purchases like jewellery, forcing Signet to warn on sales at the end of last year. Since last Christmas, however, sales have been slowly improving. In the UK, where the company runs some 600 stores, including the H Samuel and Ernest Jones jewellery chains, like-for-like sales were up 3.8 per cent at £99.8m. This is a slowdown from the 5.2 per cent underlying growth in the first quarter. However, Signet said the group had outperformed the UK retail sector in general. Overall, the group said like-for-like sales rose 3.4 per cent at £324.4m in the 13 weeks to August 2. Signet shares, which have been climbing since the beginning of the year, edged up 1-3/4p 98-3/4p on Thursday afternoon. | master rsi | |
25/7/2003 11:39 | SIGNET has been making steady progress of late, however it still has a way to go to reach the previous high of 133.5p on the 19/4/02. Next high target 150p, when?? who knows, (buy/strong hold), it is going in the right direction. | w.bramley | |

25/6/2003 14:22 | Random I am short again equities- particularly Techmark. I would be happier to see the 10 year gilt yield fall below 4.00 for a straight week and the dollar to continue to drift down against Euro. If it does I may get my cheque book out and short the Dow IA as well with a two month view. Do you expect the Nasdaq or the Dow to lead on the way down? | ben gunn | |
25/6/2003 11:32 | A confirmed short term downtrend is in place now. Is it a retracement of the previous trend, or the emergence of a new one? Seasonal effects would suggest it is a new downtrend. The next Sornette downleg is due any moment, and it accelerates quickly, making it hard to trade unless short from near the top. Thus I am short the spx as a hedge for investments, with a stop placed just above short term resistance. I have been shorting during strength, and weakness. The market seems particularly weak now, so I am holding the short position open. It seems to be a dangerous time to be invested in stocks without some kind of downside protection. | random | |
20/6/2003 11:41 | I read this article somewhere late last night, but now I cannot remember where. The article is also contained here, but I do not have access to it. Has anybody else got the access and might like to post it for other investors. ventured.com/view/br Sorry folks, that should read:- It basically states that CSFB have set a target of £1 per share for Signet. | aos | |
16/6/2003 11:05 | Looks like the Sunday share tip reported in then paper (can't remember which one) and on Channel 4 Share Tips seems to be attracting a price rise. | aos | |
05/6/2003 20:30 | I have held these shares from time to time. In fact I always keep a few hundred so I get the glossy annual/half year report. It gives a good indication of how well the company is doing and it's strategy. I posted some acticles back in Dec 2002 when all was doom and gloom and the shorters were forcing the price down. Back then the shares could have gone below 60p but a good Christmas gave the shares a boost, the postings then disappeared and I assume the speculators moved on to other stocks. Pros: ==== Signet has got good management ( see company report ) and a clear growth strategy ( albeit a slow one ) and keeps costs under control. It's main aim is to expand the US business by opening 200 large format so called Jared stores (presently at 67). - adding about 1bn US dollars in total sales This is where most growth will come from. ie about 6% per annum UK business has increased it's sales by targeting more upper middle market Ernest Jones customers, enticing them to spend more on quality diamonds etc The problems I see is that 1) Sales at existing US stores were more or less flat 2) US dollar exchange rate has gone from 1.44 to 1.60+ so this affects sales in UK pound terms. ( does this mean that US debt goes down as well ) 3) Majority of sales occur over the Nov-Jan period so that the shares always go up after the Jan trading statement. This year has been no exception. Therefore when they have rallied they usually go sideways over the summer. Last year they fell, not surprising as they were well overbought. For the future, IMO this one is a good long term hold I think the shares will have short term support about 80p and will trade between 80p ( 200 day MA ) and 87p until a picture of increasing sales becomes apparant. ie Thanksgiving/Christm Below 80p will not be good news but I think if it did go back down buyers would appear. Go back to 1999 for an indication of what might happen. I notice a lot of sellers today. Add in the FTSE has had a good run post Iraq, it's nearly holiday time so upside is limited As for a bid - 120p a share. But I don't think it's coming as someone won't want to pay 2bn+ for Signet. SOF has a lot of sites , which if owned by SOF can be asset stripped , built on , sold off for a profit etc. Same applied to Selfridges SLF. Signet leases most of it's sites ( especially in US I think - DYOR ) Also SOF has sales of 5bn and can only make 50m profit. Wm Morrison can do much better so under a takeover why can't SOF. | me_cynic |
