0735 ET - The market is missing many of Bath & Body Works' self-help drivers in the current macro economic environment, Deutsche Bank analysts say in a research note after meeting with the company's management. About 80% of the retailer's supply chain is based in the U.S., with 90% located within North America, and the company has a stronger balance sheet and a healthy margin structure, the analysts say. "We came away constructive on Bath & Body Works as it executes across multiple growth drivers --including adjacency expansion, product innovation, strategic collaborations and a stronger loyalty engine --and see a particularly favorable risk/reward at current levels," the analysts add.
