Bath & Body Works targets college bookstores to woo young buyers
Bath & Body Works is going to college. Students at hundreds of U.S. universities will soon be able to buy the company's fragrances , candles and other items at campus bookstores, in a departure from the beauty retailer's long-held business model as it tries to lure coveted Gen-Z shoppers . Bath & Body has struck deals with bookstore operators like Barnes & Noble and Follett Corp to set up shops inside some 600 campus stores, where it will sell popular fragrances like Mahogany Teakwood and Champagne Toast, new CEO Daniel Heaf told Reuters. Schools include George Washington University, Boston College and Vanderbilt University. It is the first time that Bath & Body will sell items outside its own stores, but it won't be the last, Heaf said. "This idea of being either a wholesale brand or a direct-to-consumer brand is over," he said, adding that third-party distribution will be key to growth in the future. Boosting sales with Gen-Z is a priority for Heaf, who took the reins in May after a tough year that saw the company's shares removed from the benchmark S&P 500 index. The shares have lost 24% over the last two years, and closed at $28.93 on Tuesday. College bookstores could be fertile ground for gauging what younger buyers want without investing much capital, said Morningstar analyst Jaime Katz. It's also "a way to keep the conversation going with teen girls while they're ... not living with their parents anymore, not going to their usual places anymore," Katz said. An April survey by investment bank Piper Sandler found that, among teens, sales of fragrances were up 22% versus the same time last year, making it the fastest-growing segment in the beauty industry among teen shoppers. Before joining Bath & Body, Heaf held various roles at Nike , including running its direct-to-consumer business, which former CEO John Donahoe leaned heavily into after the pandemic, reducing the apparel brand's reliance on third-party retailers. That direct-to-consumer shift backfired, and Nike has since sought to repair its retail relationships. But analysts have attributed the failure more to a lack of fresh product than to the work of Heaf, whose reputation as an innovator remains solid. Katz believes Bath & Body's $29 share price could be a bargain, noting the company's strong operating margins and limited exposure to tariffs. One challenge Bath & Body faces, she said, is communicating to consumers the breadth of its product line, which ranges from soaps to lip balms to wallflowers. On that front, Heaf hinted that the company may seek to streamline offerings, focusing on the strongest sellers, and ramp up its digital presence. Bath & Body spends 3% to 4% of its revenue on marketing, but Heaf said he would rather concentrate on fewer, but deeper, campaigns to boost brand awareness. "Think about a video on Instagram that tells a story about the product," he said. "Building awareness leads to a delay in purchase, because you're capturing a new consumer. But it works. I've seen it work."

Looking for a Growth Stock? 3 Reasons Why Bath & Body Works (BBWI) is a Solid Choice
Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task. That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss. However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects. Bath & Body Works (BBWI) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank. Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy). Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this owner of Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works and other chain stores a great growth pick right now. Earnings Growth Earnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration. While the historical EPS growth rate for Bath & Body Works is 0.1%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 5.7% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 2.9%. Impressive Asset Utilization Ratio Asset utilization ratio -- also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio -- is often overlooked by investors, but it is an important indicator in growth investing. This metric shows how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales. Right now, Bath & Body Works has an S/TA ratio of 1.49, which means that the company gets $1.49 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 1.28, it can be said that the company is more efficient. In addition to efficiency in generating sales, sales growth plays an important role. And Bath & Body Works is well positioned from a sales growth perspective too. The company's sales are expected to grow 2.4% this year versus the industry average of 1.2%. Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions Beyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for Bath & Body Works. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.7% over the past month. Bottom Line Bath & Body Works has not only earned a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. This combination positions Bath & Body Works well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

She leaned in to smell the candle when 'a sudden explosion erupted from the glass container, propelling molten wax and flames outward in every direction,' according to the lawsuit obtained by National Post. The explosion occurred 'within moments' of lighting the candle, the claim says. Renita Francois says she was severely burned moments after lighting a candle in January 2023, according to a lawsuit. Photo by Renita Francois As well as Bath & Body Works, Francois is also suing Premier Candle Corporation, the Canadian candle producer, for 'negligence, failure to warn, product defect, breach of warranty,' which are related to 'a defective candle that exploded and caused severe burns and permanent disfigurement.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The suit, filed on July 4, alleges that both companies, 'despite knowing of prior explosions and safety risks related to their three-wick candles, failed to recall, redesign, or properly warn consumers about the risk of catastrophic injury.' In an emailed statement to National Post, a spokesperson for Bath & Body Works denied the allegations. They said the explosion was due to misuse. 'In millions of hours of testing we have never seen our candles explode. Based on third party testing it is evident that the candle involved in this incident was improperly burned and extinguished. 'Bath & Body Works stands by the safety of our product, and when used appropriately, our best-in-class safety and testing standards make our candles safe,' the statement said.

It continued: 'All Bath & Body Works candles made by Premier in Canada are subject to the exact same quality standards, inspections, and rigorous testing as other candles manufactured and sold by Bath & Body Works in the United States.' According to its website, Premier Candle Corporation says it has 'stringent procedures from incoming material inspections, batching confirmations, in process inspections, and many other quality checks up to the final pre-shipment inspection.' Francois said she followed the instructions on the bottom of the candle and adhered to its safety warnings. The label says the candle should not be lit for more than four hours and that the wick should always be trimmed to a quarter of an inch before it is lit.

This photo shows a candle that Renita Francois says exploded in her face moments after it was lit in her Long Island home, according to a lawsuit. Photo by Renita Francois Francois suffered severe second-degree burns, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, emotional distress, and permanent scarring, the claim says. Francois's husband, McEvans Francois, is also named in the lawsuit as a plaintiff. He was there when Francois was lighting the candle and 'witnessed his wife's face catch fire, crackle, and blister as molten wax burned her skin, resulting in severe emotional distress, PTSD, and loss of consortium.' Loss of consortium is when the intangible benefits of a relationship — such as companionship, comfort, affection, and love — are lost or impaired, according to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute. It can be claimed by a spouse. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The lawsuit called the candle 'defective' and maintained that the explosion occurred 'within moments' after lighting. A webpage dedicated to candle safety by Health Canada says most cases of candle fires are caused by 'human errors.' It also says 'the obvious hazard when you burn candles is the risk of injury or death from fire.' 'But the design of candles can also increase the risk of fire and fire-related injuries,' per the federal government, adding that candles with three wicks, depending on the kind, can produce high flames. This can lead to a 'very intense heat' that can cause materials such as curtains or clothing to catch fire. 'These candles can also melt rapidly, leaving a large pool of hot wax that can cause burns,' per Health Canada. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Francois's lawsuit says she is a mother, wife and leader in public safety, community advocacy, and strategic policy reform. 'This is not just a physical injury — it is an emotional and psychological battle, an assault on her self-perception, and a daily reminder of a tragedy that could have been prevented,' says the lawsuit. In 2017, a Texas woman said that a three-wick Bath & Body Works candle 'burst' in her face, news outlet NBC 5 reported. However, she said that she did not follow its warnings, which told consumers not to blow on the candle or to throw water on it in order to extinguish the flame. There have not been any recalls for Bath & Body Works candles reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission since 2004. That year in March, Bath & Body Works voluntarily recalled its 'Real Essence' votive candles — a different kind of candle than the three-wick Sweater Weather scented candle in the lawsuit. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In the recall announcement, it says the votive candles that were recalled could 'burn with a high flame or irregular flame, posing a fire hazard to consumers.' Votive candles are smaller candles, sometimes used for prayer. 'The safety of our customers is our top priority. With hundreds of millions of units sold, our candles have a longstanding, exceptional safety record. Our candles undergo extensive quality and safety testing under rigorous burn and use conditions to meet or exceed all applicable industry and government standards for safety and performance,' the emailed statement from Bath & Body Works said. 'Many factors beyond the construction of the candle itself can affect any candle's performance, which is why we provide safe candle burning tips on our website and proper use guidelines on our products. For more information on safely enjoying room-filling fragrance, follow this important safety information when caring for your candle.'
