Bath & Body Works (BBWI-N) is facing challenges as it operates within the consumer discretionary sector, which can be significantly affected during economic downturns. Experts point out that in tough economic times, consumers are likely to prioritize their spending on essential items over luxury or non-essential products, such as personal care items from Bath & Body Works. This shift in consumer behavior can lead to a decrease in sales and revenue, as individuals become more price-sensitive and look to cut expenses. Although the brand has loyal customers, its reliance on discretionary spending makes it vulnerable to economic fluctuations. As a result, the overall sentiment among analysts suggests caution when considering investments in this stock given the current economic landscape.

DON'T BUY

The problem is that this is purely consumer discretionary. So if consumers need to pinch pennies in a touch economy, you are likely to cut expenses here as opposed to a laptop.

DON'T BUY
The 2.9% dividend yield doesn't stop the stock from going down.
COMMENT
Among the 10 top performers on the S&P of 2021 #7, up 132%. This could see even more upside. But he prefers turnaround story Bed Bath & Beyond, which reports later this week.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly BBWI, an offshoot of the previously named L Brands (which separated from the Victoria's Secret line) is reiterated as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations by over 50%. Its mostly domestically sourced product line is helping it to avoid supply chain issues going into the holiday sales season. It trades at 13x earnings compared to peers at 26x and is using cash to pay down debt. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $68.50, looking to achieve $90.00 -- upside potential over 25%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $90.06)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly BBWI is the offshoot of the previously named L Brands, which separated from the Victoria's Secret line. Its first earnings report showed revenue up 43% from a year ago and 14% above pre-pandemic levels. Company guidance for revenue was upgraded to indicate near 10% annual growth expectations for the next 3-5 years with an eye to expand margins further. It trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 23x and has a great cash reserve position. We would buy this with a stop loss at $48.50, looking to achieve $81.50 -- upside potential over 18%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $81.28)

STRONG BUY

Was spun off from L Brands. He likes it. But it's against tough comps YOY, because last year's performance was strong. Will trade at 15x 2022's earnings estimates. This is a steal. Splitting up a business can unlock value.
