The company specializes in selling high-end timepieces and jewelry, with a significant presence in both the UK and US markets.

On December 4, 2025, WOSGF reported earnings per share of $0.25, surpassing the estimated $0.23. This positive earnings surprise reflects the company's strong financial performance. The revenue for the period was approximately $1.11 billion, aligning with the estimated revenue, showcasing the company's ability to meet market expectations.
The company's financial performance in the first half of 2026 was notably strong, driven by a 10% increase in group revenue to £845 million. This growth was primarily fueled by the US market, which accounted for nearly 60% of the company's profitability. Revenue in the US rose by 20% in constant currency to £409 million, offsetting more modest trading in the UK and Europe.
Despite a decrease in the EBIT margin to 8.1%, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes increased by 6% to £69 million. The company reported strong free cash flow of £48 million, reinforcing its financial stability. CEO Brian Duffy expressed satisfaction with the performance and highlighted the positive impact of the recent tariff reduction on Swiss imports in the US.

Its price-to-sales ratio is about 0.66, and the enterprise value to sales ratio is around 1.01, reflecting its market value relative to sales and revenue. The debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 1.20 suggests a balanced financial leverage, while a current ratio of around 1.95 indicates a strong ability to cover short-term liabilities.
