10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Diamond jewelry retailer Signet Jewelers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>) is the subject of a new short report that comes as shares trade near 52-week lows after the company lowered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42975858/signet-jewelers-slashes-q4-sales-forecast-stock-drops-over-16">fourth-quarter guidance.</a>
Here's why The Bear Cave predicts more trouble ahead.
Signet's Increased Competition: The latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/the-bear-cave">Bear Cave short report</a> targets the diamond jewelry company on the thesis that lab grown diamonds will continue to cut into Signet's market share.
"The Bear Cave believes today's youth and future generations will shift towards lab-grown diamond engagement rings and mined diamonds will be a vestige of the past," the <a href="https://thebearcave.substack.com/p/problems-at-signet-jewelers-sig">report </a>said.
Benzinga contacted Signet for comment on the report. 
Signet operates the Zales, Kay and Jared brands predominantly in malls with a key demographic being low-to-middle-income engagement ring shoppers, the report adds.
"The Bear Cave further believes the trend of lab-grown diamonds is accelerating quickly, will cause a strong devaluation in both mined and lab-grown diamond prices, and will cause Signet's business to suffer significantly."
A lower price point and ethics concerns over how diamonds are mined could result in the wave of young engagement ring buyers shifting to lab-grown diamonds, the report said.
The Bear Cave cites a rise of posts on social media talking about lab-grown diamonds and their positives as being a potential negative for Signet's future. The report highlights one user's post around the argument for buying an engagement ring that looks better at one-tenth the price and saving thousands of dollars that can be used to spend on a honeymoon or wedding.

What's Next: The growth of lab-grown diamonds could threaten Signet's business model and send prices for diamonds even lower, the report said.
Signet has around $2 billion in inventory on its balance sheet, according to the report. This figure could decline over time and hurt the overall value of the company.
The rise of lab-grown diamonds could result in less frequent purchases of Signet&#8217;s extended service agreements, The Bear Cave said. Service agreements drive high-margin revenue for Signet and are frequently priced as a percentage of the cost of an engagement ring, the short report said, and will decline with the price of engagement rings. 
Signet recently lowered its fourth-quarter revenue guidance from a range of $2.38 billion to $2.46 billion to a new range of $2.32 billion to $2.335 billion. Shares fell in December after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42340973/signet-jewelers-stock-tanks-after-dismal-q3-print-guidance-cut"> reported third-quarter</a> revenue and earnings per share that missed analyst estimates. 
SIG Price Action: Signet stock is down 2.19% to $57.63 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $54.44 to $112.06. Signet stock is down 21% over the last five days and down 31% over the last month.

Intraday Update

Crude Oil Down 1%; Firefly Neuroscience Shares Spike Higher

Signet Jewelers Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>) stocks are trading lower in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42969397/signet-jewelers-announces-holiday-sales-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">premarket session on Tuesday.</a>
The company expects fourth-quarter sales to range between $2.32 billion and $2.335 billion. That&#8217;s down from the prior forecast of $2.38 billion to $2.46 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared to the $2.45 billion estimate.</a>
&#8220;Our holiday results of approximately -2% SSS reflect peak selling days leading up to Christmas that were below forecast,&#8221;  said Chief Financial and Operating Officer Joan Hilson.
&#8220;Merchandise margin expanded, but less than expected due to the lower fashion mix and a stronger customer response to promotional items. These dynamics are reflected in our updated guidance.&#8221;
Same-store sales for Q4 are expected to fall by 2.5%.

Adjusted operating income&nbsp;for the fourth quarter is expected to be $337 million to $347 million, lower than the prior view of $397 million to $427 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter is expected to be between $381 million to $391 million. That&#8217;s significantly lower than the prior guidance of $441 million to $471 million.
The company&#8217;s engagement and service sales were within expectations. Signet Jewelers witnessed its AUR increase in both Bridal and Fashion.
However, fashion gifting underperformed as consumers gravitated to lower price points even more than anticipated in a continued competitive environment.&nbsp;
Price Action: SIG shares are trading lower by 17% to $61.13 at last check Tuesday.

Signet Jewelers Expects Q4 Sales Of $2.320B-$2.335B (Prior $2.38B-$2.46B) Vs $2.42B Est

WIIM

Signet Jewelers shares are trading lower after the company reported a drop in total same store sales for the holiday season and lowered its Q4 guidance.

While the holiday season tends to brighten spirits, love was certainly not in the air for Signet Jewelers Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>). Early last month, the diamond jewelry retailer posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42340973/signet-jewelers-stock-tanks-after-dismal-q3-print-guidance-cut">disappointing results</a> for its fiscal third quarter. Nevertheless, investors historically have bought extreme dips in SIG stock, opening the real possibility of a near-term bullish options strategy.
On paper, Signet posted adjusted earnings per share of 24 cents, missing Wall Street's consensus view of 33 cents. On the top line, the company rang up sales of $1.35 billion, which unfortunately represented a 3.1% year-over-year decline. As well, this figure missed analysts' revenue target of $1.37 billion.
During the conference call, Signet CFO Joan Hilson remarked that the competitive environment dragged down the Q3 print. What also sent investors rushing for the exits was management guiding current-quarter sales to a range between $2.38 billion and $2.46 billion. Previously, the consensus stood at $2.45 billion.
Still, the market tends to move on anticipated events. Given that the poor print is now in the rearview mirror, traders may consider looking at SIG stock from a fresh perspective.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fundamental and Technical Underpinnings Point Northward for SIG Stock</h2>
To be sure, the dynamic political and economic ecosystem presents significant concerns for investors. Nevertheless, key datapoints suggest that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42850914/us-services-sector-growth-tops-forecasts-but-price-pressures-tariff-concerns-cloud-outlook">consumer sentiment is generally improving</a>, which may have positive implications for Signet's core business. After all, academic research indicates an <a href="https://www.bgsu.edu/content/dam/BGSU/college-of-arts-and-sciences/NCFMR/documents/FP/FP-14-18-marriage-rate-recession.pdf">inverse correlation</a> between rising unemployment and odds of marriage.
Recently, the stronger-than-expected December Purchasing Managers' Index highlighted resilience in the U.S. services sector. Further, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data for November, revealing that the namesake metric rose by 259,000 to 8.1 million. This figure exceeded market expectations of 7.7 million.
It should be noted that vacancies increased for white-collar categories, such as professional and business services and finance and insurance. Put another way, the vacancies were tied to sectors that <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/markcperna/2024/08/15/gen-z-blue-collar-career-opportunity/">younger workers prefer</a>.
Beyond the fundamentals, investors may also take confidence in the technical framework of SIG stock. For the past 20 years, SIG commands an upward bias when viewed from a month-over-month performance basis. Specifically, out of 252 months, 136 posted a positive return on a sequential basis, thus yielding bullish probabilities of nearly 54%.
Intriguingly, the aforementioned upward bias improves whenever SIG stock encounters severe monthly volatility. For example, last month, SIG suffered a drop of just under 20%. Since January 2004, there have been 22 instances when Signet stock incurred a one-month decline of 15% or worse. Out of this tally, 14 subsequent months saw a positive return or 63.64% of the time. Moreover, the average positive return landed at 18%.

Of course, history isn't guaranteed to repeat. But the combination of supportive fundamentals and the technical dip-buying tendency bodes favorably for SIG stock.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A High-Risk, High-Reward Call Spread Beckons</h2>
Recognizing that the market tends to get greedy when extreme fear strikes SIG stock, daring speculators may consider an options strategy called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">bull call spread</a>. This multi-leg transaction involves buying a call option and simultaneously selling a call at a higher strike price for the same expiration date. Here, traders can discount their long position by using the credit from the short call to partially offset the debit paid for the long call.
Assuming prior statistical trends play out, by the end of this month, SIG stock could be up 18% against December's close or around $95.24. To provide some margin for error, aggressive traders may consider the 85/90 bull call spread (buy the $85 call, sell the $90 call) for the options chain expiring Feb. 21, 2025.
The above transaction provides a month-and-a-half for the bullish thesis to pan out, enabling traders the potential choice of exiting the position early. Also, SIG would only need to hit $90 (an 11.5% increase from December's final session) to receive the maximum reward.
To be upfront, the time-of-writing max payout of almost 355% indicates that market makers believe SIG stock hitting $90 by expiration to be a low-probability event. However, the counterargument is that the combination of improving fundamentals and a technical tendency of extreme-value hunting makes for a surprisingly tempting transaction.

Options Corner: Disappointing Signet Jewelers Offers A Diamond In The Rough

In the current market session, Signet Jewelers Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>) price is at $86.00, after a 1.16% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 12.50%, and in the past year, by 16.30%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Comparing Signet Jewelers P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Signet Jewelers has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 19.84 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
