"Impact of Taylor Swift's Engagement Announcement on Jewelry Stocks Unveiled This Week"
Taylor Swift's Engagement Announcement Sparks Jewelry Market Boom
Taylor Swift's recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce has sent shockwaves through the jewelry market, with several companies experiencing significant stock price increases.
The announcement, made on Instagram, has triggered a surge in internet searches for various types of wedding rings. One of the most sought-after designs appears to be a cushion-cut engagement ring, similar to the one Swift has been sporting on her finger.
Signet Jewelers Limited (SIG), a leading retailer of diamond jewelry, saw its stock price climb to $95/share after the announcement, marking a nearly 10% increase over the pre-announcement price. However, the stock price dipped slightly on Thursday, closing at $89.86/share, still 3.6% above its pre-engagement price but lower than its post-engagement high of $95.
Brilliant Earth Group, an eco-conscious jeweler, has seen the most significant gains. The company's stock price soared 30% after Swift's engagement announcement, rising from $2.17/share at 12:50 PM on Tuesday to close at $2.82/share. Brilliant Earth Group closed lower on Thursday at $2.69/share, though that was also well above its pre-engagement price.
LVMH, the luxury goods conglomerate that owns Tiffany & Co., also experienced a stock price increase of over 4% after Swift's engagement announcement. Movado Group, primarily a watchmaker, also saw a stock price increase of over 2.47%.
The manufacturer of the lapel ring that Swift wears, Cartier, may also see increased sales due to her marriage.
Interestingly, all of the aforementioned jewelry and jewelry-adjacent companies have significantly lagged the S&P 500 over the past five years. Signet, for instance, is trailing on a total return basis by about 35 percentage points, while Brilliant Earth is "Down Bad," by a jaw-dropping 130 percentage points.
The activity from internet searches may have triggered certain traders' algorithms to buy jewelry stocks, creating a snowball effect in the market. This surge in interest could signal a potential trend for the jewelry industry in the coming months.
As the wedding planning process unfolds, it will be interesting to see how Swift's choices in jewelry and fashion influence sales in the industry. For now, it seems that the jewelry market is riding high on the excitement of Swift's engagement.
