Investing.com - UBS has maintained its Buy rating and $95.00 price target on Signet Jewelers (NYSE:SIG) ahead of the jewelry retailer’s upcoming second-quarter earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, the stock, currently trading at $87.33, appears undervalued based on its proprietary Fair Value model.
The investment firm’s industry checks and analysis suggest Signet had a solid second quarter, leading UBS to forecast a 13-cent earnings per share beat compared to consensus estimates. This optimism is supported by InvestingPro data showing that 4 analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward, with analyst targets ranging from $75 to $102.
UBS believes Signet’s current fiscal year 2026 EPS guidance range of $7.70-$9.38 is wide enough to accommodate various scenarios, including potential impacts from incremental tariffs, and expects the company to reiterate this outlook. The company’s solid financial position is reflected in its GOOD Financial Health Score of 2.94 from InvestingPro, with a healthy current ratio of 1.5 and annual revenue of $6.73 billion.
The firm notes that market reaction to the earnings report will likely depend on Signet’s third-quarter outlook and quarter-to-date comparable sales trends, with positive or negative commentary potentially driving sentiment in either direction.
UBS anticipates high volatility around the earnings event, with options markets pricing in a potential 12.1% move in either direction, slightly higher than the historical average move of 11.1%.
