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.

Bath & Body Works: Undervalued Despite Materializing Tariff Headwind
Bath & Body Works, Inc. ended FY2024 on a strong note as earnings performed stably comparably. The FY2025 outlook stands worse than expected. Further, Trump's 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on China could have a negative impact on earnings. Supply chain management could mitigate some of the negative impacts, and Bath & Body Works' high margins should still enable quite stable earnings despite the headwind.
