L Brands (NYSE: LB) has seen decent growth in sales and steady profits the past several years. During the latest quarter, net sales of the company rose to $2.77 billion, compared with $2.61 billion a year ago, up 6% from the prior-year quarter, with adjusted earnings per share at $0.30. This was driven by growth across its Bath and Body Works segment, a well-positioned customer strategy, international diversification, and rising online sales. L Brands has been continuously revamping business by improving the store experience, localizing assortments, and enhancing direct business. These measures have facilitated it to generate incremental sales and increase store transactions through higher conversion rates.  A sustained focus on cost containment, inventory management, merchandise, and speed-to-market initiatives has kept L Brands afloat in a competitive environment. Also, L Brands is seeing very strong momentum in online sales growth with online revenue for VS and Bath & Body Works going up.

Going forward, we are projecting revenues for all the 4 segments of the Company to grow as the company is working on developing their long-term strategic plan for sustainable growth. Overall, we anticipate the company’s revenue to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%.
