Investors Will Want Signet Jewelers' (NYSE:SIG) Growth In ROCE To Persist
To find a multi-bagger stock, what are the underlying trends we should look for in a business? Amongst other things, we'll want to see two things; firstly, a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an expansion in the company's amount of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. Speaking of which, we noticed some great changes in Signet Jewelers' (NYSE:SIG) returns on capital, so let's have a look. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. To calculate this metric for Signet Jewelers, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.14 = US$521m ÷ (US$5.5b - US$1.6b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to May 2025). So, Signet Jewelers has an ROCE of 14%. That's a relatively normal return on capital, and it's around the 13% generated by the Specialty Retail industry. View our latest analysis for Signet Jewelers In the above chart we have measured Signet Jewelers' prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for Signet Jewelers . We're pretty happy with how the ROCE has been trending at Signet Jewelers. The figures show that over the last five years, returns on capital have grown by 345%. The company is now earning US$0.1 per dollar of capital employed. Speaking of capital employed, the company is actually utilizing 27% less than it was five years ago, which can be indicative of a business that's improving its efficiency. If this trend continues, the business might be getting more efficient but it's shrinking in terms of total assets. In a nutshell, we're pleased to see that Signet Jewelers has been able to generate higher returns from less capital. And a remarkable 717% total return over the last five years tells us that investors are expecting more good things to come in the future. So given the stock has proven it has promising trends, it's worth researching the company further to see if these trends are likely to persist. One more thing to note, we've identified 3 warning signs with Signet Jewelers and understanding them should be part of your investment process.

Rocksbox Opens Stores To Sell Not Rent Jewelry Under Signet's New ‘Grow Brand Love' Strategy
Close-up of bohemian woman with freckles wearing boho style silver turquoise rings and necklaces Rocksbox just opened a fashion jewelry store in Walnut Creek, CA's Broadway Plaza outdoor mall. This marks Rocksbox's third store, following its Fillmore Street location in San Francisco and Elizabeth Street store in the Nolita neighborhood of New York City. A handful of other Rocksbox store openings will follow this year as Rocksbox transforms from a jewelry rental subscription model to a bricks-and-clicks retail destination for fashion-forward jewelry. It will feature leading designer brands, including Kendra Scott, Kate Spade, Ana Luisa, and Lele Sadoughi, as well as Rocksbox private label and pre-owned jewelry selections. This move is part of Signet Jewelers' new 'Grow Brand Love' growth strategy introduced by new CEO J.K. Symancyk in March. One of its aims is to continue to grow its core bridal jewelry business while expanding into 'adjacencies,' such as the much larger fashion jewelry segment. Signet figures it has a 28% share of the $10 billion addressable market in bridal jewelry compared to only a 6% share of the $50 billion fashion jewelry space. 'This is a test of what a fashion offering can mean to our business,' CFO Joan Hilson shared with me, adding that Rocksbox's move into stores is 'an exciting new format for us.' Rocksbox was launched by entrepreneur Meaghahn Rose in 2012 as a digitally-native jewelry rental subscription service. It was acquired by Signet Jewelers in 2021 and continued to operate under the subscription rental model until the middle of last year. It discovered the Rocksbox model was not a good fit with Signet's core businesses and brands, which include: Finding the subscription rental model was becoming a barrier to growth, it ended the rental program, which had also been tested in Signet's Zales stores in 50 markets, and shifted to a retail sales model. 'We've increasingly seen customers interested in purchasing the jewelry outright and adding to their collection – especially styles that are pre-owned and from designers that represent their values,' Rocksbox president Allison Vigil shared with RetailDive at the time of the shift. Now it is carrying forward Rocksbox' brand transformation into physical stores where Signet has proven itself to be a leader. It operates some 2,600 retail stores, making it the jewelry retail market leader in the U.S. It is also the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry. As Rocksbox introduces itself to new customers as a jewelry fashion destination for self-purchase and gifting, it will serve as a proving ground for another pillar of the 'Grow Brand Love' strategy: to grow through a brand mindset. Rocksbox is just getting started honing its new image, unlike others in its portfolio which have long-standing relationship with customers and an identify built over the years. Previously, Signet always referred to its numerous jewelry businesses, such as Kay, Zales and Jared, as banners, not brands. However, the focus on branding is more than just a change in semantics. 'We're moving to think about our brands so each can focus on what is unique to their customers,' Hilson explained. 'Each team is dedicated to fully owning and bringing their brand to life for their customer.' The new branding initiative will focus on refining, realigning, and further differentiating each brand, and learnings from one will undoubtedly transfer to others, especially in the fashion jewelry market where it has the greatest growth potential. Signet has started with sharpening the branding sword for its core flagship brands – Kay, Zales and Jared. For example, Kay – 'Every kiss begins with K' and its bridal and gifting core – has just appointed its first chief love officer, Teddy Swims. Jared is launching a new fashion campaign to enhance its aspirational positioning in the luxury jewelry market, and Zales has found success with its 'Own it' campaign targeting its fashion jewelry collections as a means for personal self-expression. Signet's success depends heavily on these three flagship brands. In the latest first quarter earnings call, Symancyk explained that one point of comp group in these three brands has the same impact on Signet's overall performance as six points of growth in its remaining brands. 'Results for these three brands is already delivering a combined 4% comp sales in the first quarter, with continued trend in May,' he added. Signet has been battling headwinds recently after revenues dropped nearly 15% from fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2025, from $7.8 billion to $6.7 billion. Yet, in the first quarter 2026, ended May 3, overall revenues were up 2% to $1.5 billion and same-store sales rose 2.5%, which Jefferies reports is the first time in 12 successive quarters that comp sales in North America inflected positive. And adjusted operating income rose from $57.8 million last year to $70.3 million this. Average unit retail sales also got an 8% boost, partly owing to a 60% increase in lab-grown diamond sales in fashion jewelry. Fashion price points in the $200 to $500 range are particularly strong. Jefferies analyst Randal Konik wrote in an investor note that Signet is turning the corner: 'Signet Jewelers, a leading jewelry and watch retailer in North America, is undergoing a strategic transformation under its 'Grow Brand Love' initiative," and demonstrating early signs of success, including consumer engagement outpacing peers, steadily improving web traffic growth, which just inflected positive, steadily improving comp growth across all regions which just inflected positive in NA, increased higher-margin Service sales penetration, and overall enhanced profitability.' Another positive sign is plans to shrink mall revenue penetration to less than 30% of revenues from around 35% currently in North America and move to more productive off-mall locations and e-commerce channels. Just under 100 underperforming stores will close this year, primarily those in weaker mall locations with leases set to expire this year. Over the next three years, some 200 'high-value' stores in declining venues will be shifted. And Symancyk reassured investors that threatened Trump tariffs aren't going to hold it back as it revised guidance upward at the lower end of its revenue range between $6.57 billion and $6.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA to between $615 million and $695 million. 'We believe that we can navigate tariffs as they stand today within our full-year guidance through a combination of vendor negotiations, value engineering of new and existing styles, as well as promotion and life cycle management,' he concluded.

Up 60% in Three Months, Can This Bargain Stock Keep Gaining?
Signet Jewelers soared after returning to positive comparable sales growth in the first quarter. Its Grow Brand Love strategy is paying off as sales of lab-grown diamonds in fashion jumped 60%. The company repurchased 5% of its shares outstanding in the quarter. 10 stocks we like better than Signet Jewelers › Signet Jewelers (NYSE: SIG) is the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, but as a leader in a mature market, the stock has been overlooked by investors hungry for growth in the artificial intelligence (AI) era. That's led Signet, which owns banners like Kay, Jared, and Zales, to trade at a bargain valuation, and the stock looks more attractive after surging on its first-quarter earnings report. The company returned to same-store sales growth for the first time in several quarters and beat estimates on the top and bottom lines. Signet posted a same-store sales increase of 2.5%, thanks in part to 8% growth in average unit retail (AUR), or average prices. This was driven by a surge in lab-grown diamonds in its fashion segment, meaning non-bridal jewelry. Overall revenue in the quarter rose 2% to $1.54 billion, which topped the consensus at $1.52 billion. It showed off growth throughout the income statement, a credit to the improved assortment that led to comparable-sales growth. Gross margin rose 100 basis points to 38.8%, driven by improving merchandise margin and as it gained leverage on fixed costs. Adjusted operating income jumped from $57.8 million to $70.3 million. Adjusted earnings per share rose from $1.11 to $1.18, which beat the consensus at $1.04. Signet stock jumped as much as 16.8% on Tuesday on the news. In an interview with The Motley Fool, CFO/COO Joan Hilson credited the company's Grow Brand Love strategy for the improvement in Signet's business. New CEO J.K. Symancyk introduced the strategy in its fourth-quarter earnings report, saying the company would focus on more style and design-led product in its assortment. This includes a reorganization of the business. Hilson said part of that strategy means a sharper focus on Signet's top three banners, Kay, Zales, and Jared, saying that one point of growth at those banners was equal to six points of growth at its other brands. "This is the most immediate way for us to drive short-term growth," she said. Those efforts seem to have paid off as an improved assortment helped drive sales growth, with Signet particularly strong in fashion items at a price point of $250 to $500. Additionally, the company said that sales of lab-grown diamonds in the fashion segment jumped 60%. This shows that it's finding a new way to meet customer demand, as lab-grown diamonds offer the ability to get more karats for a lower price point than natural diamonds. Looking ahead, management said the company got off to a strong start in the second quarter. Quarter-to-date revenue was near or above the high end of its guidance for the quarter, calling for same-store sales of -1.5% to +1%. The company did not adjust its second-half expectations for the year, except to account for $117.5 million in share repurchases in Q1, or 5% of shares outstanding, showing another way Signet is delivering value for investors. For the full year, the company raised its revenue guidance from $6.53 billion to $6.80 billion to $6.57 billion to $6.8 billion, and now expects adjusted earnings per share of $7.70 to $9.38, up from a previous range of $7.31 to $9.10. That guidance factors in current tariffs, which the company expects to manage through vendor negotiations and other tactics, and management said the consumer remained resilient. At the midpoint of that guidance, the stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of just 8.5. This makes the stock attractively priced, especially after returning to growth and opportunistically buying back stock. Signet is now up 60% since its low point in March after the company reported disappointing Q4 results, which shows that the Grow Brand Love strategy has already had a significant effect. Looking ahead, the stock looks positioned for further gains due to its low valuation, improved assortment, growth in lab-grown diamonds, and ability to repurchase stock. Signet stock could easily move higher from here.
