Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP is reminding investors of the March 16, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a class action lawsuit against Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE: BBWI). The lawsuit alleges the company made materially false and misleading statements about its business strategy and financial performance during the class period of June 4, 2024 to November 19, 2025.

Why it matters

The lawsuit alleges that Bath & Body Works misled investors about the effectiveness of its business strategy focused on 'adjacencies, collaborations and promotions,' which the company later admitted had not grown its customer base. The significant stock price declines following the company's negative earnings announcements in August and November 2025 indicate the market's loss of confidence in Bath & Body Works' financial outlook and management.

The details

The lawsuit claims Bath & Body Works failed to disclose that its strategy of pursuing 'adjacencies, collaborations and promotions' was not growing the customer base or delivering the level of sales growth touted. As this strategy faltered, the company allegedly relied on brand collaborations 'to carry quarters' and obfuscate weak underlying financial results. This resulted in the company being unlikely to meet its own financial guidance, which it later slashed.

  • On August 28, 2025, Bath & Body Works released Q2 2025 results, reporting a 55.8% year-over-year decline in earnings per share and a 57.9% decline in net income.
  • On November 20, 2025, Bath & Body Works released Q3 2025 results, reporting a 1% year-over-year revenue decline and a 26% decline in net income. The company also slashed its full-year guidance.
  • March 16, 2026 is the deadline for investors to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action lawsuit.
