Bath & Body Works Guides 3Q EPS to 5c-10c, Far Below Expectations
BBWI sits 26% above its 52-week low of $14.275 on elevated volume (2.1× avg).
Summary
Bath & Body Works issued third-quarter EPS guidance of $0.05 to $0.10, far below expectations, and now forecasts a wider-than-expected third quarter sales decline on weak store traffic. The company had already flagged lower FY26 guidance and halted buybacks in March, confirming continued operational weakness. With a market cap near $3.5B, the implied quarterly profit of roughly $11M-$22M is thin, and the stock at $17.97 reflects investor skepticism. The guidance comes ahead of the full Q2 report and suggests management sees no near-term recovery in demand or margins.
At the time of this announcement, BBWI was trading at $17.97 on NYSE in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $3.5B. The 52-week trading range was $14.28 to $32.32. This news item was assessed with negative market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10. Source: Dow Jones Newswires.
