A class action lawsuit has been filed against Bath & Body Works, Inc. by Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, alleging that the company and its officers made false and misleading statements to investors between June 4, 2024, and November 19, 2025. The complaint claims that Bath & Body Works' strategy of 'adjacencies, collaborations and promotions' was not effectively growing its customer base or delivering the touted net sales growth. It further alleges that the company relied on brand collaborations to mask weak financial results and was unlikely to meet its own financial guidance. Investors who purchased Bath & Body Works securities during the specified period are encouraged to join the lawsuit, with a lead plaintiff deadline of March 13, 2026.
