19 Mar 2025ignet Jewelers ($SIG) stole the spotlight today, surging 17.29% to $56.65 following a stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings report. The jewelry retailer posted earnings of $6.62 per share, exceeding estimates of $6.32. However, revenue of $2.35 billion fell short of Wall Street’s forecast, coming in $30.75 million below expectations. Despite this revenue miss, investors cheered the earnings beat and the company’s dividend hike, driving the stock to its highest levels in weeks.
Signet's stock was already primed for volatility, given its high short interest of 20.2%, making it a prime candidate for a short squeeze. The combination of short sellers covering positions and bullish sentiment around earnings sent shares soaring. However, a closer look at the fundamentals presents a mixed picture. Same-store sales declined 1.1%, North American segment sales fell 5.6% year-over-year, and gross margins contracted by 80 basis points. These figures suggest underlying retail challenges, but the market appears focused on the company’s ability to maintain profitability in a tough environment.
Another standout mover was Virgin Galactic ($SPCE), climbing 15.65% to $4.36 on unusual options activity. Market players took notice after Benzinga's options scanner flagged eight large options trades, with a mix of bearish and bullish positioning. The options market suggests that "smart money" is targeting a price range between $3.00 and $4.00, meaning today's move could be part of a larger play by institutional investors. With increased volume of 7.48M shares, well above the average daily volume of 1.63M, the surge could indicate renewed speculative interest in the stock despite Virgin Galactic’s well-documented financial struggles.
StoneCo ($STNE) also made headlines, rising 14.9% as shares crossed above the 200-day moving average of $10.97, hitting a high of $11.70. The Brazilian fintech company has been on a technical breakout, attracting momentum traders betting on further upside. With a history of volatile price swings, STNE’s next move will likely be dictated by broader sentiment around emerging market fintech stocks.
