If you purchased shares of Signet Jewelers Limited you may, no later than October 24, 2016, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

According to the filed complaint, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (1) Signet was experiencing difficulty ensuring the safety of customers’ jewelry while in the custody of Signet’s brands; (2) Signet’s employees at stores under at least one of Signet’s brands (Kay) were swapping customers’ stones for less valuable stones; (3) Signet was experiencing a decrease in customer confidence; (4) Signet had increasing competitive pressures; (5) consequently, Signet’s financial performance was being negatively impacted; and (6) as a result, defendants’ statements about Signet’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis..

On June 2, 2016, James Grant’s investment newsletter issued a report raising these concerns about the extent to which Signet used its credit operations to boost sales, and also referenced the previously published story on Buzzfeed about customers complaining that their diamonds had been unknowingly replaced with lesser-quality gems by Signet’s Kay Jewelers stores.

On this news, Signet stock fell as much as $13.93, or 14.11%, to a low of $84.80 during intraday trading on June 2, 2016, closing at $88.19 for the day’s trading.
