Shares of Bath & Body Works (NYSE: BBWI) fell as much as 25.7% on Thursday after the specialty retailer posted disappointing third-quarter results and slashed its full-year outlook. The move came even as the company unveiled a transformation plan to reignite growth in its fragrance and personal-care business.

The softness marked a shift from the second quarter of 2025, when net sales grew 1.5% year over year and adjusted earnings per share held flat year over year.
