- Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated Outperform rating on Bath & Body Works Inc BBWI and lowered the price target to $40 from $60 (23% upside)
- The analyst said the company’s move in lowering Q2 guidance reflected a challenging macro environment and unprecedented inflation levels weighing on consumer sentiment and demand.
- Dana believes traffic trends have sequentially declined from Q1, and the management feels lower-income consumers are heavily impacted by inflation and have become more price sensitive.
- While the moderated outlook is somewhat disappointing, the analyst believes modest stock reaction is evidence that the market had already contemplated the potential softness.
- Dana noted that the company is poised for incremental growth with a solid pipeline of new launches planned in FY22 and increased investments in infrastructure and systems.
