Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Signet Jewelers (NYSE: SIG) price target of $55.00.
Analyst, Jessica Schoen, noted the Q2 beat versus her estimates ($0.85 vs. $0.81). Same-store sales were positively impacted by the shift in Mother's Day (into Q2 from Q1). Kay jewelers saw U.S. store sales up 12.5% and 2.4% at Jared. However negative impacts came from the departure of Rolex and slowing sales of Pandora.
Looking forward, Schoen, said, "We are increasing our 2012 and 2013 EPS estimates to $4.25 and $4.70 from $4.20 and $4.60, with a cautious view for 3Q comp due to the impact of a one-time watch event at Jared. We also note that 4Q12 will contain an extra week, which should result in $50 mm incremental sales, but negatively impact operating profit by $2-$4 million."
