Bath & Body Works slashes annual forecast on weak demand for candles, fragrances
Nov 20 (Reuters) - Bath & Body Works BBWI.N trimmed its annual profit and sales forecast on Thursday, signalling weak demand for its scented candles and fragrances among cash-strapped shoppers and mounting costs, sending shares down 15% in premarket trading.
It now expects 2025 net sales to decline by low single digits, compared with its prior forecast of a growth between 1.5% to 2.7%. It slashed its fiscal 2025 earnings per share forecast to at least $2.87, from prior forecast range of $3.35 to $3.60.
