Holiday Visibility Low for Narrow-Moat Bath & Body Works as Consumers Spend With Caution

Jaime M Katz

We believe Bath & Body Works has carved out a solid competitive edge in the sizable addressable markets in which it operates. The company’s strong brand intangible asset is supported by its leadership position across the bath and shower and candle air freshener industries in recent years, which has been bolstered by BBW’s quick response to consumer trends. Quantitatively, the narrow moat is reinforced by a 37% average return on invested capital excluding goodwill that we expect the business to generate over the next decade, well ahead of our 8% weighted average cost of capital estimate.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

BBW is set to renegotiate leases over time. Favorably updated rent agreements, new off-mall locations, and productivity gains from the White Barn format conversion could help boost profits.

Bears

A downshift in demand around mall retailing could further slow footfall, tempering demand. Mall locations still represented just under half of the fleet at year-end 2023 (versus 61% in 2016).

Company Profile

Bath & Body Works is a specialty home fragrance and fragrant body care retailer operating under the Bath & Body Works, C.O. Bigelow, and White Barn brands. The company generates most of its business in North America, with just 5% of sales from international markets in fiscal 2023. For fiscal 2023, 74% of sales stemmed from the brick-and-mortar network (which was composed of more than 1,800 retail stores), similar to 2022 levels, as consumer shopping patterns remained to normal. Future growth is expected from store reformatting, digital and international channels, as well as adjacent category expansions like hair and laundry.
