2 Oversold Jewelry Stocks Ready to Shine

The recent market corrections due to the continuing Ukraine-Russia war and the Fed's aggressive interest rate posture have pushed many stocks into oversold territory despite their solid financial and growth prospects. Therefore, we think now could be an opportune time to invest in fundamentally sound oversold jewelry stocks Brilliant Earth (BRLT) and Signet (SIG). Read on.

The  jewelry market is poised for growth due to consumers’ increasing disposable income and innovative designs offered by the manufacturers. In addition, peoples’ changing lifestyles and increasing preference for luxurious products as status symbols have fueled the demand for jewelry. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, jewelry sales in March 2022 rose 11.9% year-over-year.

Due to the Ukraine-Russia war and the Fed's plans for aggressive interest rate increases, the stock market has experienced massive sell-offs of late. However, we think jewelry stocks could exhibit resilience amid current market fluctuations and rebound in the near term owing to the robust demand for their products. The global jewelry market was valued at $249.02 billion in 2021 and is expected to increase at an 8.5% CAGR  from 2022 - 2030.

Given this backdrop, we think jewelry stocks Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. (BRLT) and Signet Jewelers Limited (SIG), which have entered oversold territory because of the broader market sell-off, could be great additions to one's portfolio owing to their solid growth attributes and fundamental strength.
