Investing.com -- Here is your daily Pro Recap of the biggest analyst cuts you may have missed since yesterday: downgrades at Bath & Body Works, Charles Schwab, F5, and MYT Netherlands.
Bath & Body Works downgraded at Piper Sandler, shares fall
Piper Sandler downgraded Bath & Body Works (NYSE:BBWI) to Neutral from Overweight and cut its price target to $37.00 from $48.00, noting that expectations for the company have been elevated since the company issued what seemed to be rather conservative guidance on its Q4 call.
Shares are down more than 3% premarket today.
The firm now sees plenty of reason for results to fall in line with management's outlook, largely on the basis of persisting margin pressures. Despite the company's relatively low valuation, Piper Sandler is concerned that the current estimates are overly optimistic, and it anticipates limited potential for share prices to increase from their current levels.
The company is set to report its Q1/24 on May 17. Street estimates stand at $0.27 for EPS and $1.4 billion for revenues.
