Signet Jewelers delivered better-than-expected results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by positive same store sales growth across its key brands and improved margins. The company's strategic initiatives are showing early traction, leading to an increase in the lower end of its full-year operating guidance and a raise in adjusted EPS guidance, partly due to share repurchases.

Gross margin improved by 100 basis points to 38.8% of sales.
