#2 - Bath & Body Works (NYSE:BBWI)
Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE: BBWI) is a name that many investors have looked past since it spun off the Victoria’s Secret brand. However, the retailer of home fragrances, body care products, sanitizers and similar products is finding its footing as a smaller company that garners strong brand loyalty from its consumer base, which is heavily comprised of the millennial and Gen-Z demographic.
That strength was reflected in the company’s third-quarter earnings report for its 2025 fiscal year. The company topped analysts’ estimates on the top and bottom lines. Bath & Body Works generated 52 cents in earnings per share (EPS) on revenue of $1.61 billion. Both numbers were also higher than the same quarter in its FY 2024 third quarter.
Other factors that may make Bath & Body Works an attractive takeover candidate is a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.6x and a stock price as of November 25, 2024, of $35.92. That’s 17.6% below analysts' consensus price target of $42.25.
