Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Signet Jewelers (NYSE: SIG) price target of $49.00.

Barclays analyst says, "We are expecting EPS of $0.21, in line with consensus. We are expecting revenues to increase 6.2% to $681.7 million consisting of an 11.0% comp increase in the U.S., and a comp decrease of (3.0)% in the U.K. We believe that top line momentum experienced in 2Q11 likely carried through to the third quarter, particularly in the U.S. At the company's Investor Day on October 4, 2011, they reported that comps had been solid QTD, in line with 2Q performance, which was up 9.9%. The company noted doubt digit increase in the first eight weeks of Q3 at both Jared and Kay."

SIG to report 3Q11 on Tuesday, November 22, before the open.
