BBWI
About: Bath & Body Works is a specialty home fragrance and fragrant body care retailer operating under the Bath & Body Works, C.O. Bigelow, and White Barn brands. The company generates most of its business in North America, with just 5% of sales from international markets in fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2024, 76% of sales stemmed from the brick-and-mortar network (which was composed of more than 1,800 retail stores), similar to 2023 levels, as consumer shopping patterns remained to normal. Future growth is expected from store reformatting, digital and international channels, as well as adjacent category expansions like hair and laundry.

Inventory levels are rising faster than sales, increasing risk of future markdowns and pressuring margins and earnings growth.
