The five investor questions
2022–2026 (latest 5 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $7.8B to $6.8B, decreasing; diluted EPS 12.22 to 7.08, decreasing.
Median gross margin 37.9% over 10y, very stable.
Median ROIC 17.5%, above the 12% hurdle in 70% of years.
Net cash position — no leverage risk.
Owner earnings changed -6.6%/yr over up to the ten most recent annual observations.
Price vs. value if growth stopped today
A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.
- $402M
- $110.64
- $110.64
- $107.96
- 2% below value if growth stopped today
A discount this large is often a warning rather than a bargain — the market may expect earnings to keep falling. See the revenue trend above.
How to read this
What today’s price assumes: owner earnings shrinking ~0%/yr over 5 years. The estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).
We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.
This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.
Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 240% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

19 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED booked $6.8B of revenue in FY2026 in the Consumer Discretionary sector and kept 39.5% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 4.3% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $3.3B (FY2009) to $6.8B (FY2026) — about 4.3% a year compounded over 17 years.
It earned 26.6% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2026. Across the full 18-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 15.4%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 17.5%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 79/100.
SIG's latest filed year, FY2026, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.
Put together: Balance-Sheet Safety is the strongest of the five filters (100/100) and Business Trend the weakest (23/100), which is how SIG lands at 61/100 — a Narrow moat.
This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
Exact FY and FY-1 financing invested-capital inputs are required.
The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the filings for that year. The series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

Scores are logged append-only and never overwritten — this record cannot be reconstructed retroactively, which is exactly why it’s worth keeping.
Insider activity
Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”
These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.
The insider-filing service is temporarily unavailable, so no partial or guessed answer is shown for SIG.
Track record
How SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED’s moat rated in each of the years we can reconstruct from its filings — scored only on what was knowable at the time — and what its price and returns did afterward. The score never saw a price; the two are joined only in hindsight, for education, not as a signal.
How to read this: each dot is what the engine would have scored SIG on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.
Two tracks, one timeline: the score has its own 0–100 scale (top), the price its own 100-based scale (bottom) — never a shared axis. The price path is a total-return (dividends reinvested) index built from the same data the forward returns use; gaps in the score line are years with no reconstructed rating (see the table for why). The Table view carries every value.
What followed, in the years it rated Wide
In the reconstructed history shown, SIG did not rate Wide-moat in any year, so there is no wide-moat track record to report. That absence is itself the honest answer — we don’t manufacture a comparison where the rating never earned one.

Common questions about SIG
- Does SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED have an economic moat?
- Based on its FY2026 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED (SIG) 60.7 out of 100 — a Narrow moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 23, pricing power 62, returns on capital 79, balance-sheet safety 100, capital allocation 40.
- Is SIG trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
- The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $110.64 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $107.96, that is 2% below value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
- How has SIG's Moat Score changed over time?
- The record logs 28 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 60.7 out of 100 (narrow moat). No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
