What's Happening?

The lawsuit alleges that the company made materially false and misleading statements about its business operations and prospects between June 4, 2024, and November 19, 2025. The complaint claims that Bath & Body Works' strategy of pursuing 'adjacencies, collaborations, and promotions' did not grow the customer base or deliver the growth in net sales as touted.

Investors who purchased or acquired Bath & Body Works securities during this period are encouraged to contact the law firm
for potential recovery of investment losses.
