The New York jewelry retailer said it will earn more than the 39 cents per share it earned last year due to a "promising start to the year." Previously, Tiffany expected profit to roughly equal year-ago results.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial predicted a profit of 39 cents per share.

The company increased its quarterly dividend by 2 cents, or 13 percent, to 17 cents. The dividend is payable July 10 to shareholders of record as of June 20.

Tiffany shares rose $3.03, or 6.6 percent, to $48.88.
