CASE ALLEGATIONS: Bath & Body Works is a specialty retailer of home fragrance and body care products.
The Bath & Body Works class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Bath & Body Works’ strategy of pursuing “[a]djacencies, collaborations and promotions” was not growing the customer base and/or delivering the level of growth in net sales touted; (ii) as the Bath & Body Works’ strategy of “[a]djacencies, collaborations and promotions” faltered, Bath & Body Works relied on brand collaborations “to carry quarters” and obfuscate otherwise weak underlying financial results; and (iii) as a result, Bath & Body Works was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance.
The Bath & Body Works class action lawsuit further alleges that on August 28, 2025, Bath & Body Works released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting, among other things: (i) earnings per diluted share of $0.30, a decline of 55.8% year over year, missing Bath & Body Works’ prior guidance on the low end by $0.03; (ii) net income of $64 million, a decline of 57.9% year over year; and (iii) it was cutting its full year guidance for earnings per diluted share by $0.03 at the midpoint, to $3.28 to $3.53. On this news, the price of Bath & Body Works stock fell nearly 7%, according to the complaint.
Then, on November 20, 2025, Bath & Body Works allegedly released its third quarter 2025 financial results, reporting that: (i) revenue declined 1% year over year, missing Bath & Body Works’ guidance of 1-3% growth for the quarter; (ii) net income fell 26% to $77 million; (iii) Bath & Body Works was slashing full year guidance for net sales from a previously positive 1.5%-2.7% to a negative “high single digits”; and (iv) Bath & Body Works cut expected earnings per diluted share from $3.28 to $3.53 to “at least $2.83.” On this news, the price of Bath & Body Works stock fell nearly 25%, according to the complaint.
