Bath & Body WorksNYSE: BBWI

Bath & Body Works looks to report a relatively weak Q3 due to persisting macroeconomic issues that pressure discretionary spending. Looking past short-term earnings issues, Bath & Body Works has a stable earnings outlook with well-built brand loyalty. The short-term earnings pressure has pushed the BBWI stock down too much, and I now estimate the stock to have a 52% upside into a fair value of $47.95.

BBWI is a top player in a high-quality market, but its stock is behaving as if it's failing. I anticipate that BBWI will start to grow again in 2025 by focusing on its loyal customers, successful partnerships, and entering new product areas and global markets. If BBWI manages to grow in 2025, I think it deserves a higher valuation similar to its industry competitors.

Bath and Body Works plans to hire 30,000 seasonal workers for its over 1,800 stores in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, the company will recruit 2,700 associates for its four distribution centers located in central Ohio. This announcement was made on September 12, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio.

Bath & Body Works is considered undervalued, with an estimated fair value of $38 per share, which suggests a potential increase of 32% from its current price. The company enjoys strong customer loyalty, a solid presence across various sales channels, and effective operations that lead to high returns on investment. Although it faces challenges such as economic fluctuations and competition, BBWI's strategic plans and innovative approaches set it up for ongoing growth.

I have a neutral opinion on Bath & Body Works Inc. because the short-term outlook is not very promising and there are no strong reasons for growth. The stock price is currently at the lower end of its trading range over the past ten years. Sales are likely to be weak due to careful consumer spending, unsuccessful new products, and increasing inventory that may result in discounts.
