$3.7B Market cap · 2026-10-07
Anyone looking at $BBWI as a potential activist-driven pre-deal? Barington pushing for buybacks / strategic alternatives, ~$4bn market cap, ~$1.2bn EBITDA and trading ~5-6x EV/EBITDA. Real FCF business despite the top-line issues. What does this get taken out for if someone can underwrite a turnaround? Cc: Sycamore
Quite a few directors at Bath & Body Works $BBWI are buying the dip on poor earnings, with the shares dropping to multi-year lows. With negative sentiment pressuring the topline and margins and quite a bit of leverage, we’re not surprised to see this share price action. That said, the company is refocusing on key franchises, improving its product offering, and cutting costs heavily. It's too early to touch this one, but it's certainly interesting to keep on the watchlist on a potential inflection of the fundamentals (while the market continues to puke the shares).
BBWI · long Bath & Body Works is the remaining Les Wexner retail business after The Limited’s former brands were separated or sold.
