Bath & Body Works, traded under the symbol BBWI-N, is facing concerns due to its classification as a consumer discretionary stock. In challenging economic climates, consumers tend to prioritize essential expenses over luxuries, which could lead to decreased sales for products offered by Bath & Body Works. Experts point out that when budgets tighten, consumers are more likely to cut back on non-essential items like body care products. This could pose challenges for the company's growth and profitability in a recessionary environment. Overall, the sentiment reflects caution towards its performance in light of potential economic downturns, which could significantly impact consumer spending habits.

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.
