1315 ET - Signet Jewelers didn't have the right products in stock to meet demand through the holiday season, CEO J.K. Symancyk says on a call with analysts. "Since the holidays, the team has been focused on filling these assortment gaps and expanding the availability of on-trend merchandise," such as lab-grown diamonds that retail for between $200 and $500, he says. The company is quickly adjusting its inventory, as evidenced by its positive same-store sales so far this quarter. "We will continue to make changes to our assortment this spring to drive improvement for the next two major gifting seasons," Symancyk says. Signet surges 17% after the company says it plans to restructure its operations and withdraw from some shopping malls. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
