The release only confirms that Bath & Body Works will discuss its fiscal outlook during the Q2‑2025 earnings call on August 28; it does not contain the actual FY‑2025 or FY‑2026 revenue, EPS, or profit‑margin guidance. Management (CEO Daniel Heaf and CFO Eva Boratto) will present that guidance during the call and publish it in the supplemental presentation posted on the investor‑relations site shortly before the call begins. Until the call occurs, analysts must rely on the most recent FY‑2024 guidance and the company’s historical growth rates to form expectations.
In the interim, traders can treat the upcoming guidance as a catalyst event. If the company reiterates or modestly upgrades its FY‑2025 revenue target (historically in the $2.0‑$2.2 billion range) and signals FY‑2026 revenue in the $4.5‑$4.8 billion range, with EPS growth of roughly 8‑10 % YoY and profit‑margin expansion of 50–55 %, the stock could see a short‑term upside rally on the earnings call. Conversely, any downward revision—especially on FY‑2025 earnings per share or margin compression—would likely trigger a swift sell‑off. Traders should position ahead of the call: consider a modest long position or buying call options if the market is pricing in a neutral outlook, and be ready to take profits or hedge if the guidance falls short of consensus estimates (e.g., revenue < 2.0 B, EPS < $4.00, margin < 50 %). The market’s reaction will be amplified by the tight trading range the stock has been in (around $46‑$48) and by the overall consumer‑discretionary sentiment in the post‑holiday season. Monitoring pre‑call analyst sentiment and any pre‑release commentary from the company’s investor‑relations team will help fine‑tune the trade.
