Bath & Body Works (NYSE: BBWI), the largest specialty home fragrance & body care product retailer in the U.S, formerly known as L Brands, has declined 23% over the last twenty-one trading days (one month) and currently stands near $56. It should be noted that the broader S&P500 returned a marginal decline during the same period. The company’s stock fell after the company’s updated earnings guidance fell short of the consensus for the fourth quarter. While BBWI expects its Q4 earnings to come at the high end of its previous guidance of $2.10 to $2.25, this compares to a consensus of $2.26. That said, BBWI further mentioned that its gross margins are expected to be down significantly compared to 2020 as costs outpaced retail price increases. However, the company also added that it estimates Q4 sales to be at the high end of its previous guidance for a mid-to-high-single-digit percent growth over 2020.

Now, is BBWI stock poised to decline further in the short term?
