Signet Jewelers announces preliminary sales of $6.8 bn for FY26

Retail behemoth Signet Jewelers has reported preliminary sales of approximately $6.8 billion for its full fiscal year 2026 (FY26).

The company, which owns Zales, Kay Jewelers, and Jared in the States, along with Ernest Jones and H. Samuel in the UK, revealed its preliminary sales for Q4 (the 13 weeks leading up to January 31 2026) as being estimated between $2.34 and $2.35 billion.

Within these figures, the group said that same store sales were up 1.2%–1.3% for the year compared with FY25.

“We saw sequential improvement each month in the quarter on a one- and two-year comp basis, along with a return to positive comps across peak holiday selling days, which continued for the balance of the quarter,” said CEO J.K. Symancyk. 

“Our Grow Brand Love strategy delivered growth for the year led by a sharper focus across Kay, Zales, and Jared, even amid unprecedented tariffs, record gold costs, and a measured consumer,” he continued. 

The company’s chief operating and financial officer, Joan Hilson, said: “We expect to deliver results in the upper half of our range, which included a pivot to broader promotions to meet consumer expectations resulting in a modest gross merchandise margin decline offset by further spend discipline. 

“Our operating performance and continued focus on working capital management we expect will deliver more than $500 million in free cash flow in FY26.”
