Bath & Body Works Q1 EPS Jumps to $0.9 on One-Time Gain, Revenue Dips 3.2%
BBWI sits 35% above its 52-week low of $14.275 on elevated volume (2.9× avg).
Summary
Bath & Body Works reported Q1 2026 diluted EPS of $0.9, an 83.7% increase year-over-year and at the high end of its guidance. Net sales, however, declined 3.2% to $1.38 billion. This detailed 10-Q summary follows an earlier 8-K filing today that indicated Q1 results exceeded expectations. The significant EPS growth was primarily boosted by an $88 million one-time interchange settlement benefit, masking a decline in underlying operational performance and core revenue. Traders should note the company's previously issued Q2 EPS guidance of $0.20-$0.25, which represents a substantial sequential drop.
