Signet Jewelers stock entered Wednesday slightly lower for the year. That didn't last past the opening bell.

Shares of Signet (SIG) are surging 20% Wednesday morning after the Hamilton, Bermuda-based parent of Kay Jewelers, Jared, and Zales posted Q2 adjusted earnings of $2.19 per share, well above the $1.73 consensus of analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha. Revenue of $1.53 billion matched expectations.

Same-store sales growth of 2.2% easily topped the 1.7% consensus estimate, while adjusted operating income of $107.2 million surpassed the $89.6 million Visible Alpha projection. Adjusted EBITDA of $152.3 million beat the $131.9 million estimate.

"We delivered another quarter of comp sales growth with a positive comp performance in all fine jewelry brands," Signet CEO J.K. Symancyk said.

As a result, Signet raised its full-year guidance for adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EBITDA. It also lifted the low end of its same-store sales range to flat growth from a decline of 0.75%.

"We are entering the back half of the year well-positioned to deliver compelling value throughout the holiday season for customers across a broad range of income levels," Symancyk added.

Signet shares were down less than 1% since the start of the year through Tuesday's close.
