Why Bath & Body Works Stock Is Sliding After Hours

Bath & Body Works Inc (NYSE:BBWI) shares are trading lower in Wednesday's after-hours session after the company reported strong financial results, but cut earnings guidance below analyst estimates.

Bath & Body Works said first-quarter revenue decreased 1% year-over-year to $1.45 billion, which beat the $1.38-billion estimate, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company reported quarterly adjusted earnings of 64 cents per share, which beat the estimate of 50 cents per share.

Bath & Body Works cut its full-year adjusted earnings guidance from a range of $4.30 to $4.70 per share to a range of $3.80 to $4.15 per share versus the estimate of $4.43 per share.

"The updated fiscal 2022 outlook reflects the company's decision to accelerate investments in information technology and its customer loyalty program, as well as projected increases in inflationary pressures," the company said.
