L Brands Inc (NYSE:LB) stock traded higher by 4 percent Thursday after the company reported first-quarter earnings.
Several Wall Street analysts weighed in on the stock following the report. Here’s a sampling of what they had to say.
Voices From The Street
Nomura analyst Simeon Siegel said the company’s guidance cut was an ominous sign.
“1Q raised a number of red flags (severe margin contraction at LB, bloated inventory and a guidedown for the remainder of the year), and had few positives ([Bath & Body Works] margin continuing its stabilization/expansion),” Siegel wrote.
Piper Jaffray analyst Erinn Murphy said investors should approach L Brands stock with caution.
“While BBW is executing well, we remain sidelined given multiple sources of competitive pressure surrounding [Victoria’s Secret],” Murphy wrote.
Buckingham Research Group analyst Kelly Crago said the guidance cut reflects a more realistic outlook from management and may have eliminated some of the risk in the stock.
“Additionally, we were encouraged by the company's emphasis on supply chain and technology investments, a big positive, in our view, as we believe the company is behind on crucial omni-channel investments,” Crago wrote.
Bank of America analyst Lorraine Hutchison said lackluster Victoria’s Secret performance continued to weigh on L Brands.
“With no margin recovery in sight, we view the stock as expensive and see risk to both brands’ profitability,” Hutchison wrote.
