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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734028443_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734028443_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

Analyst Scoreboard: 8 Ratings For Signet Jewelers

Former President Donald Trump's four years in the White House offer insights into which stocks and sectors might benefit or suffer if he secures a second term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">in the 2024 election.</a>
Here's a look back at the worst-performing stocks in 2017, Trump's first year in the White House.
Worst Performing 2017 Stocks: The stock markets saw <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/18/01/11066769/the-stock-markets-rally-under-trump-among-the-best-ever-heres-how-his">impressive gains in 2017</a>, which were among the best ever for a president's first year in the White House.
The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), gained 21.7% in 2017, an impressive gain compared to the 12.0% increase in 2016. Presidential election years have historically outperformed other years.
While many stocks in the S&amp;P 500 were up in 2017, there were also plenty of names that finished the year in the red. Here's a look back at the 10 worst-performing stocks in the S&amp;P 500 from 2017, as reported previously by Marketwatch.
<ol>
<li>Baker Hughes (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>): -51%, energy</li>
<li>Range Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RRC#NYSE">RRC</a>): -50%, energy</li>
<li>Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NYSE">UA</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>): -50%, consumer discretionary</li>
<li>Scana Corp: -46%, utilities</li>
<li>Envision Healthcare Corp: -45%, health care</li>
<li>General Electric (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>): -45%, industrials</li>
<li>Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>): -44%, consumer discretionary</li>
<li>Chesapeake Energy Corp (NASDSAQ:EXE): -44%, energy</li>
<li>Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>): -41%, consumer discretionary</li>
<li>Signet Jewelers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>): -40%, consumer discretionary</li>
</ol>
It's important to note that some of the companies have undergone some changes since this old list. 
<ul>
<li>Baker Hughes previously traded as BHGE and was merged with the oil and gas division of General Electric. </li>
<li>Scana Corp was acquired by Dominion Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/D#NYSE">D</a>) in 2019. </li>
<li>Envision Healthcare underwent Chapter 11 bankruptcy and now is two separate privately owned companies. </li>
<li>Chesapeake Energy changed its name to Expand Energy after merging with Southwestern Energy. The company also underwent bankruptcy protection in 2020, emerging successfully from the protection in 2021.</li>
</ul>

<li>Congress Is Making Huge Investments. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent102924">Get Tips On What They Bought And Sold Ahead Of The 2024 Election With Our Easy-to-Use Tool</a></li>
</ul>
Why It's Important: The list of the top 10 worst performers in 2017 overlaps with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r">best performing stocks </a>that Benzinga recently shared.
Stocks in utilities, health care, industrials, and consumer discretionary appeared on both the best and worst performer lists. Top-performing stocks included technology and homebuilders, with no overlap among the worst performers.
Energy is likely a potential big loser based on the trends above if Trump wins the 2024 election. What likely happened in 2017 that could happen again is a run-up in stocks during the election year and then a potential selloff in the year after as investors take profits.
While some believe that energy stocks could be winners under Trump, past results could suggest otherwise. A president who supports more drilling and has different foreign policies could also impact the price of oil barrels and lower energy companies&#8217; profits.
With less than two weeks until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or Kamala Harris victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate"> shared some sectors </a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods said defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many negative events.

휴가 시즌이 분위기를 밝게 만드는 경향이 있지만, 시그넷 주얼러스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>)에는 별로 보이지 않았다. 지난달 초, 다이아몬드 주얼리 소매업체인 시그넷(Signet)은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42340973/signet-jewelers-stock-tanks-after-dismal-q3-print-guidance-cut">실망스러운 실적</a>을 발표했다. 그럼에도 불구하고 역사적으로 투자자들은 SIG 주식의 극단적인 하락세를 매수해왔으며, 이는 단기적으로 강세 옵션 전략을 사용할 가능성을 열어주었다.
서류상으로, 시그넷은 조정된 주당순이익(EPS)이 24센트로 월스트리트의 컨센서스인 33센트를 하회했다. 매출 측면에서 이 회사는 13억 5천만 달러의 매출을 올렸지만, 이는 전년 대비 3.1% 감소한 수치이다. 또한, 이 수치는 애널리스트들이 예상한 13억 7천만 달러의 매출 목표에도 미치지 못했다.
컨퍼런스 콜에서 시그넷의 CFO 조안 힐슨(Joan Hilson)은 경쟁 환경이 3분기 실적을 끌어내렸다고 언급했다. 투자자들이 급히 퇴장한 또 다른 이유는 경영진이 현재 분기 매출을 23억 8천만 달러에서 24억 6천만 달러 사이로 가이던스한 것이었다. 이전에는 컨센서스가 24억 5천만 달러였다.
그럼에도 불구하고 시장은 예상되는 사건에 따라 움직이는 경향이 있다. 나쁜 실적이 이제 과거가 된 만큼, 트레이들은 SIG 주식을 새로운 관점에서 바라볼 수 있다고 생각할 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">펀더멘털 및 기술적 지표가 SIG 주식에 긍정적</h2>
물론, 동적인 정치 및 경제 생태계는 투자자들에게 상당한 우려를 제기한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 주요 데이터 포인트는 <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">소비자 심리가 일반적으로 개선되고 있다</a>는 것을 시사하며, 이는 시그넷의 핵심 비즈니스에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 결국, 학술 연구에 따르면 <a href="https://www.bgsu.edu/content/dam/BGSU/college-of-arts-and-sciences/NCFMR/documents/FP/FP-14-18-marriage-rate-recession.pdf">실업률 상승과 결혼 확률 간에는 역상관 관계</a>가 있다.
최근에는 12월 구매관리자지수(PMI)가 예상보다 강하게 나타나 미국 서비스 부문의 회복력을 강조했다. 또한, 노동 통계국은 11월의 구직 및 이직 보고서 데이터를 발표하여 구직 수가 25만 9천 개 증가하여 810만 개로 상승했다고 밝혔다. 이 수치는 시장 예상인 770만 개를 초과한 것이다.
특히 전문직 및 사업 서비스, 금융 및 보험과 같은 화이트칼라 직종의 구인 공고가 증가했다. 다시 말해, 이러한 공석은 <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/markcperna/2024/08/15/gen-z-blue-collar-career-opportunity/">젊은 근로자들이 선호하는</a> 분야와 관련이 있었다.
이러한 펀더멘털 요소 외에도 투자자들은 SIG 주식의 기술적 프레임워크에 자신감을 가질 수 있다. 지난 20년 동안, SIG는 월별 성과 기준으로 상승 편향을 보였다. 구체적으로, 252개월 중 136개월이 순차적으로 긍정적인 수익을 기록하여 약 54%의 강세 확률을 나타냈다.
흥미롭게도, 이러한 상승 편향은 SIG 주식이 심각한 월별 변동성을 겪을 때 더욱 개선된다. 예를 들어, 지난달 SIG는 20% 미만의 하락을 경험했다. 2004년 1월 이후로, 시그넷 주식이 한 달 동안 15% 이상의 하락을 겪은 경우는 22번 있었으며, 이 중 14개월(63.64%)은 이후 한 달 동안 긍정적인 수익을 기록했다. 또한, 평균적인 긍정적 수익률은 18%였다.

물론 역사적 데이터가 반드시 반복되는 것은 아니다. 그러나 지지하는 펀더멘털 요소와 기술적 하락 매수 경향이 결합된 것은 SIG 주식에 긍정적으로 작용한다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">고위험, 고보상 콜 스프레드 전략</h2>
시장 상황이 극단적인 두려움에 휩싸일 때 탐욕스러워지는 경향이 있음을 인식한 대담한 투기자들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">베어 콜 스프레드</a>라는 옵션 전략을 고려할 수 있다. 이 멀티레그 거래는 같은 만기일에 보다 높은 행사 가격에서 콜 옵션을 매도함으로써 콜 옵션을 매수하는 것을 포함합니다. 여기서 트레이들은 매도한 콜 옵션의 신용으로 매수한 콜 옵션의 프리미엄을 부분적으로 상쇄하여 롱 포지션을 할인할 수 있다.
이전의 통계적 추세가 그대로 나타난다면, 이 달이 끝날 무렵, SIG 주식은 12월 종가 대비 18% 상승하여 약 95.24달러가 될 수 있다. 오류 범위를 고려하여 공격적인 트레이더들은 85/90 불 콜 스프레드(85달러 콜 매수, 90달러 콜 매도)를 2025년 2월 21일 만기 옵션 체인으로 고려할 수 있다.
위의 거래는 강세 시나리오가 실현될 수 있는 한 달 반의 시간을 제공하며, 트레이더들이 조기 청산의 선택을 할 수 있는 가능성을 제공한다. 또한, SIG 주식은 최대 보상을 받기 위해 90달러(12월 마지막 거래일 대비 11.5% 상승)에 도달하기만 하면 된다.
솔직히 말하자면, 작성 시점에서 최대 지급액이 거의 355%에 달하는 것은 시장 조성자들이 만기일까지 SIG 주식이 90달러에 도달할 가능성을 낮게 보고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 반론은 개선되는 펀더멘털 요소와 극단적 가치 사냥의 기술적 경향의 조합이 놀랍도록 매력적인 거래를 만든다는 것이다.
주가 움직임: 시그넷의 주식은 화요일 0.81% 상승한 77.07달러에 마감되었다.
