Bath & Body Works Securities Suit Triggers Lead Plaintiff Push With Mid-March Deadlines

Overview

• Faruqi & Faruqi highlights a March 16, 2026 deadline to seek lead plaintiff status, Bernstein Liebhard sets March 13, and Bragar Eagel & Squire also cites March 16.
• The lawsuit is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio for investors who bought BBWI shares between June 4, 2024 and November 19, 2025.
• Complaints allege the company and certain executives misled investors about a strategy centered on adjacencies, collaborations and promotions and about meeting prior guidance.
• Filings assert the company used collaborations to “carry quarters,” reduced focus on core categories, and obscured weaker underlying performance.
• On November 20, 2025 the company reported revenue down 1% year over year, net income down 26% to $77 million, cut its EPS outlook to at least $2.83, acknowledged strategic shortfalls, and saw shares drop 24.8% to $15.82.
