Signet Jewelers Limited (SIG - Free Report) , retailer of diamond jewelry, watches, and other products, came out with its first-quarter fiscal 2018 results, wherein earnings of $1.03 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66, and declined substantially from adjusted figure of $1.95 posted in the prior-year quarter.
