It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors.
While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics.
Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Bath & Body Works, Inc. (BBWI), headquartered in Columbus, OH, was founded in 1990 and has grown into a leading global retailer specializing in personal care and home fragrance products. Operating under the Bath & Body Works and White Barn brand names, the company offers a wide range of products, including soaps, lotions, fragrances, candles and other personal care items. These products are sold through a robust omnichannel platform, which includes both physical stores and a growing online presence.
BBWI is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of A and VGM Score of A. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 10X for the current fiscal year compared to the Retail - Miscellaneous industry's P/E of 15.4X. Additionally, BBWI has a PEG Ratio of 0.9 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 7.8X. Value investors should also note BBWI's Price/Sales ratio of 1.1X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2026, four analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for BBWI, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.00 to $3.61 per share. BBWI also holds an average earnings surprise of 7.5%.
BBWI should be on investors' short lists because of its impressive earnings and valuation fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and strong Value and VGM Style Scores.
