Signet Jewelers reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 1 February 2026, delivering flat quarterly sales and modest annual growth amid a competitive holiday trading environment.
Fourth-quarter sales totalled $2.35 billion, broadly in line with the prior year. However, same-store sales declined by 0.7%, reflecting softer consumer demand and increased promotional activity during the holiday season.
For the full year, total sales reached $6.81 billion, while same-store sales increased by 1.3%, indicating steady underlying demand despite macroeconomic pressures.
The company reported that average unit retail (AUR) rose during the year, supported by improved merchandise assortment and pricing strategies, even as promotional intensity increased in the fourth quarter.
Net income for the fourth quarter was $261.9 million, or $5.59 per diluted share, compared with $616.2 million, or $11.75 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Full-year net income totalled $363.6 million, or $7.66 per diluted share, versus $1.07 billion, or $20.27 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Chief executive officer J.K. Symancyk said the company saw improved performance as the quarter progressed, with positive momentum during key holiday trading periods. He added that Signet’s strategy continues to focus on strengthening core brands and enhancing customer engagement.
Chief financial and operating officer Joan Hilson noted that disciplined cost management and inventory control supported strong cash generation, with the company delivering more than $500 million in free cash flow for the year.
Signet also announced an increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share, reflecting confidence in its financial position and cash flow outlook.
Looking ahead, the company said it remains focused on driving profitability through margin discipline, operational efficiency and continued investment in its “Grow Brand Love” strategy, as it navigates ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
