Signet Jewelers shares surged 24% after the company beat Q2 fiscal 2027 EPS estimates and raised its full-year outlook, aided by significant tariff refunds that boosted gross margins to 39.4%. Despite a slight top-line miss due to digital brand transitions, the retailer reported positive same-store sales growth and strong demand in the luxury price tier.

  • GN stocks/earnings-beat details that Signet’s gross margin expanded by 80 basis points to 39.4%, driven by roughly $15 million in unexpected tariff refunds and lower inventory costs, while same-store sales rose 2.2% for the fifth consecutive positive quarter. The report also notes that demand remained robust in the high-end segment, with comparable sales for items priced above $2,000 growing at a high-single-digit rate.
