BBWI decreasing -5% today. Here's why:



Shares of Bath & Body Works Inc (BBWI) are trading -5% lower at a price of $36.535 at the time of this writing. While it's a somewhat glum day for the Consumer Discretionary sector in general, the stock is underperforming it's peers.

While there was some good recent news:
The company reported earnings, just 5 days ago. The company's earnings for the second quarter were better than what analysts had predicted, due to cost-saving measures and sales that were higher than they were before the pandemic began.

However that wasn't enough to keep the stock in the green as of this writing.

Bath & Body Works Inc has been trading between a 52-week high of $80.89 and a 52-week low of $25.62. The stock has a market cap of $8.36 Billion.

L Brands, through Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret and PINK, is an international company. The company operates 2,669 company-operated specialty stores in the United States, Canada and Greater China, in more than 700 franchised locations worldwide and through its websites worldwide.

As you can imagine, the internet had a few things to say about the price move. Here's a few choice comments from the Reddit Traderverse™:

This store is BBWI not BBBY which is why I'm unsure if post is troll or serious. Lot of people made a lot of money on a online bookstore though.

I wonder how many of you retards bought BBY and BBWI without knowing. Maybe their stupidity might have saved them from BBBY rug pull.

TBH shorting BBWI probably isn't a bad idea(long dated puts, anyway). They're one of those nice but not necessary stores that's going to get fucked harder than some others when the economy takes a shit soon.
