BBWI - Bath & Body Works, Inc.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE: BBWI) announced today the declaration of its regular quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share payable on September 4, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2026.
Bath & Body Works (BBWI) has an impressive earnings surprise history and currently possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely beat in its next quarterly report.
Bath & Body Works is mischaracterized as a dying retailer; I see a compelling long-term buy at under $20 per share. BBWI boasts 40%+ gross margins, robust free cash flow, and a growing off-mall and global store footprint, defying value trap narratives. Strategic partnerships with Ulta Beauty and Hilary Duff, plus asset-light international expansion, position BBWI for revenue stabilization and renewed growth.

Bath & Body Works introduces Fruit Fusion, their newest body care franchise featuring four brand-new fragrances with Hilary Duff starring in the campaign.
Bath & Body Works remains a Strong Buy, with valuation deeply discounted relative to robust fundamentals and significant growth potential. BBWI's Q1 beat, resilient free cash flow guidance ($600M for 2026), and cost savings initiatives highlight operational strength amid macro headwinds. Expansion into Ulta Beauty stores and Amazon, alongside international growth, positions BBWI for long-term upside despite near-term consumer pressure.
