Coming into today, shares of the jewelry company had gained 20.09% in the past month. In that same time, the Retail-Wholesale sector gained 2.35%, while the S&P 500 gained 4.05%.

On that day, Signet is projected to report earnings of $0.67 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 509.09%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $1.45 billion, up 11.59% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $10.07 per share and revenue of $7.16 billion. These totals would mark changes of +377.25% and +36.93%, respectively, from last year.
