Signet Group President on jewelry trends, consumer behavior

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:28:59 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Signet Jewelers Ltd., considered the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry, still shines in a sector where stubbornly high inflation has tempered shoppers’ overall willingness to spend on baubles.Like many jewelry chains, Signet has seen some shoppers, particularly in the lower-income bracket, pull back. But the chain, which operates 2,800 stores under such banners as Kay Jewelers, Zales and Peoples, reported in March fourth-quarter earnings results that beat analysts’ expectations, and it offered a solid annual profit forecast. It’s also focusing on higher-income consumers as the economy weakens.

He shot 20 for 25 in Game 3, 14 for 18 in Game 4 — the first player in NBA playoff history to shoot that well in back-to-back games while taking that many shots.Booker leads the playoffs with a 36.8-point scoring average, and he’s on pace to be the first player to shoot 60% from the field, 50% from 3-point range and 85% from...
