Victoria's Secret and Co (VSXY)

Victoria’s Secret Shares Jump After Strong Quarterly Results and Upgraded Outlook (VSCO)June 2, 2026 9:44 AM
IH Market News Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE:VSCO) reported first-quarter results that comfortably exceeded market expectations and raised its full-year financial guidance, sending shares sharply higher in premarket trading. The earnings release also coincided with the company’s transition to its new stock ticker, VSXY. The stock had previously attracted significant bearish positioning, with short interest standing at approximately 19.1%, adding to the market’s reaction following the stronger-than-expected performance. Earnings and Revenue Top Expectations For the first quarter, Victoria’s Secret reported adjusted earnings of $0.60 per share, significantly ahead of analyst forecasts of $0.32 per share. Revenue climbed 15% year-over-year to $1.56 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.52 billion and improving from $1.35 billion recorded during the same period last year. The company also delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales growth, with comps rising 13%. Profitability Exceeds Internal Targets Operating income reached $76 million during the quarter, while adjusted operating income totaled $80 million. That result came in well above the company’s previously issued guidance range of $32 million to $42 million, highlighting stronger-than-anticipated execution across its brands. The performance reflects continued momentum across the business as management works to drive sales growth and improve profitability. Management Highlights Broad-Based Strength Chief Executive Officer Hillary Super said the company continued to build on the progress achieved during the second half of last year. “We delivered a very strong start to 2026, exceeding top- and bottom-line guidance and continuing the momentum we built in the back half of last year,” said Hillary Super, Chief Executive Officer. “We drove double-digit sales growth across Victoria’s Secret, PINK, and Beauty, as well as our fourth consecutive quarter of positive comps.” The results indicate strength across multiple product categories and business segments rather than reliance on a single area of growth. Full-Year Guidance Raised Following the strong start to the year, Victoria’s Secret increased its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook. The company now expects full-year revenue to range between $7.03 billion and $7.13 billion, up from its prior forecast of $6.85 billion to $6.95 billion. The midpoint of the updated range, $7.08 billion, sits above analyst expectations of $6.96 billion. Victoria’s Secret also raised its adjusted operating income forecast to between $550 million and $580 million, compared with its previous guidance of $430 million to $460 million. Positive Outlook for the Second Quarter Management also provided an encouraging outlook for the current quarter. Second-quarter revenue is projected to come in between $1.59 billion and $1.62 billion, compared with $1.46 billion during the same period last year. Operating income for the quarter is expected to range from $90 million to $100 million. The guidance suggests the company expects its recent sales momentum and margin improvement efforts to continue through the remainder of the year. Investors Reward Strong Execution The combination of an earnings beat, stronger-than-expected sales growth and a significant increase in full-year guidance fueled a strong positive reaction from investors. With comparable sales growth remaining robust and profitability outperforming internal targets, Victoria’s Secret appears to be gaining momentum as it moves through fiscal 2026. The results also increase confidence in management’s turnaround strategy and its ability to sustain growth across the Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Beauty brands.

BBRC Releases Presentation Detailing Victoria’s Secret Chair Donna James’ Track Record of Value-Destructive DecisionsMay 19, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire Highlights the Sustained Underperformance Versus Peers and Declining Stockholder Support Driven by Numerous Errors of Judgment During Ms. James’ 25-Year Tenure, Including Poor Oversight of the Wexner-Epstein Ties, the Failed Adore Me Acquisition and Ineffective Buybacks Believes a Board Without Ms. James Will Be Better Positioned to Protect and Accelerate VS’ Turnaround and Drive Long-Term Stockholder Value Creation Believes the Withdrawal of Mariam Naficy’s Nomination Validates BBRC's Case for Change; Reminds Stockholders to Drive Long-Term Value Creation by Voting AGAINST Ms. James at the June 11 Annual Meeting BBRC International PTE Limited (together with its affiliates, “BBRC” or “we”), a long-term stockholder of Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE: VSCO) (“VS” or the “Company”) and owner of approximately 13% of the Company’s outstanding shares, today released an investor presentation entitled, “A Targeted Accountability Campaign to Preserve Victoria’s Secret’s Turnaround.” The presentation is available here. BBRC has also filed a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, which is available here. The presentation highlights why stockholders should vote AGAINST the reelection of Chair Donna James at the June 11 annual meeting, including: Ms. James has presided over numerous value-destructive decisions. During the 25 years Ms. James has overseen VS and its predecessors, the Company has been the subject of a $90 million lawsuit relating to ties between executives and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, tolerated a stock price decline of more than 70% before finally replacing its CEO just three years after becoming a separate publicly traded entity and spent $591 million to acquire Adore Me, against which the Company has already recorded $155.9 million of impairments and restructuring charges. VS stockholders have expressed their discontent three years in a row, with support for Ms. James’ reelection falling from 98.9% in 2022 to 72.4% in 2025. Despite this clear signal of stockholder dissent, Ms. James remains on the Board and is seeking to stay on for the 26th year. Stockholders cannot trust the same Chair to deliver different performance. Since its 2021 spin-off, VS has delivered total stockholder returns nearly 20 percentage points below the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail Index and traded at an approximately 19% discount to the EV/EBITDA multiple of peers.1 The Company’s financial performance has declined on every key metric from FY 2021 through FY 2025, including a 75.1% decrease in net income, 3.4% decrease in net sales, 68.9% decrease in operating income and 8.7 percentage point reduction in operating margins.2 Crucially, VS is on track to miss the FY 2026 targets set at its 2023 Investor Day – which had already been revised downward from the 2022 Investor Day. The Company’s recent recovery from a Board-overseen trough and led by a CEO the Board belatedly appointed does not rebut the Board's prior record – it confirms it. We believe VS stock could follow the same pattern of value destruction that preceded the new CEO’s arrival if stockholders allow Ms. James to continue in her role. The Board appears to be more focused on protecting the status quo than addressing credible stockholder concerns about its track record. The Board has refused to engage with the facts of our critique regarding Ms. James’ ineffective oversight and the Company’s long-term underperformance. Instead, the Board has baselessly attacked BBRC, one of VS’ largest and longer-term stockholders – even though BBRC is not on the ballot. This distraction tactic is part of a pattern of the Board refusing to take accountability for its mistakes and act in a timely manner to make the requisite changes to protect stockholder value. A new Board Chair will protect and strengthen the turnaround that CEO Hillary Super is delivering. While the operating improvements under Ms. Super are real, we believe they remain at risk under the same Board that allowed VS to fall behind in the first place. In our view, the removal of Ms. James and appointment of a new Chair who brings operating experience can sustain and accelerate the new management team’s progress.

BBRC Addresses Victoria’s Secret’s Latest Attempt to Divert Attention Away from Chair Donna James’ 25-Year Tenure and Record of UnderperformanceMay 13, 2026 8:35 AM
Business Wire Notes Ms. James Chaired L Brands' Audit Committee from 2005 to 2019; the Resulting Lawsuit Alleged Failures of Oversight Related to the Les Wexner-Jeffrey Epstein Relationship, Named Ms. James as a Defendant and Required $90 Million in Governance Reforms Reminds Stockholders to Vote AGAINST Ms. James Based on Underperforming Stockholder Returns Since Spin-Off and 25 Years of Poor Oversight BBRC International PTE Limited (together with its affiliates, “BBRC” or “we”), a long-term stockholder of Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE: VSCO) (“VS” or the “Company”) and owner of approximately 13% of the Company’s outstanding shares, today issued the following statement in response to the Company’s May 11, 2026 public disclosures: “The Company’s latest filing is another attempt by the Board to distract stockholders from years of poor oversight, failed capital allocation decisions, repeated management turnover and significant stockholder value destruction under Chair Donna James. BBRC is not on the ballot at this year’s annual meeting. Our campaign is focused on one thing: establishing accountable governance at VS to ensure the Board does not repeat the mistakes of its past. That begins with the exit of Ms. James, whose 25-year directorship across VS and its predecessors includes the misallocation of $625 million to poorly executed stock repurchases, the failed $591 million Adore Me acquisition, tolerance of a 70%-plus stock decline before finally changing executives, and being named as a defendant in the $90 million Rudi v. Wexner lawsuit that arose from alleged oversight failures during her tenure as L Brands’ Audit Committee Chair when CEO Les Wexner maintained close ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Board has yet to explain how Ms. James’ track record of multi-year underperformance and three consecutive elections of declining support from stockholders merits reelecting her to a 26th year on the Board. The Board’s continued acceptance of Ms. James' leadership is hard to reconcile with her record. Ms. James chaired the L Brands Audit Committee from 2005 to 2019, when Mr. Wexner maintained close ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Those facts were part of the derivative lawsuit that named Ms. James as a defendant, resulted in a $90 million settlement and led to reforms that were specifically directed at the Audit Committee she chaired. Stockholders are entitled to ask whether Ms. James’ Audit Committee fulfilled its risk-oversight responsibilities – and how the same Board now invoking 'reputational risk' against BBRC has determined it has no concerns about Ms. James' record. The Board’s announcement that Mariam Naficy – the director most responsible for failed M&A – will not stand for reelection validates our case for change but does not do enough to address stockholders’ concerns about weak management oversight and poor governance. For this reason, stockholders should vote against Ms. James at the 2026 annual meeting. We support the operational turnaround underway and believe governance reform is necessary to sustain it – starting with the appointment of a new, independent Chair who will bring a fresh perspective and relevant skill sets. We urge stockholders to vote AGAINST Ms. James at this year’s annual meeting.” *** White & Case LLP is serving as legal counsel, Saratoga Proxy Consulting LLC is serving as proxy solicitor and Longacre Square Partners LLC is serving as strategic advisor to BBRC.

BBRC Calls on Victoria’s Secret Stockholders to Support Turnaround by Voting Against the Directors That Necessitated ItMay 4, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire 13% Stockholder Will Solicit Votes Against Chair Donna James Following 25-Year Tenure and Director Mariam Naficy for Failure to Oversee Synergies from the $591 Million Adore Me Acquisition at the 2026 Annual Meeting Issues Open Letter Documenting the Financial Failures That Demand Board Accountability and the Governance Changes Needed to Accelerate the Turnaround Do Not Vote Until You Have Received BBRC's Gold Proxy Card BBRC International PTE Limited (together with its affiliates, “BBRC” or “we”) is a global, retail-focused investment firm with more than $3 billion in retail assets and over 45 years of experience building, scaling and operating consumer brands across the intimate apparel, fashion and specialty retail sectors. We own approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE: VSCO) (“VS” or the “Company”), making us the Company’s second-largest stockholder. Today, we have filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to solicit votes AGAINST the reelection of two members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) – Chair Donna James and Mariam Naficy – at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). BBRC also issued the following open letter to stockholders detailing why Ms. James’ and Ms. Naficy's continued Board service is incompatible with good corporate governance and appropriate oversight. *** May 4, 2026 Fellow Stockholders, BBRC invested in VS four years ago, after the Company separated from L Brands, Inc. (“L Brands”), based on our belief in the long-term potential of the business. Today, we own approximately 13% of the Company, making us VS’ second-largest stockholder. In contrast, the non-executive members of the Board own less than 1% of the outstanding shares and seven of the nine non-executive directors have never purchased a share while serving on the Board.1 We are concerned that the Board’s interests are not aligned with shareholders because of its limited financial exposure to the decisions it makes. Over the duration of our investment, the Company’s shares have underperformed the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail Index by approximately 92 percentage points.2 We believe this underperformance has been driven by the Board’s ineffective oversight of management, which led to the misallocation of $1.2 billion for poorly executed buybacks and M&A with little demonstrable return. Chair Donna James has been a director of VS and its predecessor entities for 25 years. Excessive director tenure is incompatible with good governance – for example, more than 75% of S&P 500 companies with tenure limits have a cap of 15 years or less3 and the National Association of Corporate Directors has recommended that public companies adopt a 10-year term limit for directors.4 Unfortunately, the specific consequence of excessive tenure that governance experts warn about has already occurred at VS: lacking the independence to challenge management and the fortitude to make hard decisions, the Board waited too long to transition away from the prior CEO it appointed. The result was years of underperformance that eroded stockholder value and necessitated the current turnaround. Recent stock price performance does not resolve the Board’s yearslong oversight failures and governance shortcomings. This is not about the past – it is about improving governance and the Board’s oversight to protect the progress now underway. Despite extensive engagement, the Board has been unable to provide BBRC with a satisfactory explanation for its resistance to change. We are therefore bringing this matter directly to stockholders. BBRC has filed a preliminary proxy statement seeking votes AGAINST two directors at the 2026 Annual Meeting: Ms. James and Mariam Naficy. After 25 years, Ms. James' continued presence as a director is incompatible with the independent leadership this Company requires. Ms. Naficy’s presence on the Board does not meet the standard of Board-level capital allocation oversight that we believe stockholders should expect – the Company’s own proxy materials describe her as "a key partner in overseeing acquisitions, including the acquisition of Adore Me… and the realization of synergies and other benefits from that acquisition"5 – because stockholders paid $591 million for Adore Me and have endured $155 million in impairments and charges6 with no meaningful synergies, earnings or cash flow accretion to show for it. Under Ms. James and Ms. Naficy, VS Stockholders Have Suffered Years of Value Destruction, Misallocated Capital and Anti-Stockholder Governance Excessive Tenure Leads to Weakened Objectivity: Ms. James’ 25-year tenure at the Company includes 20 years working alongside Les Wexner on the boards of Intimate Brands, The Limited and L Brands, the former parent companies of VS. As Chair of the Audit Committee at L Brands, Ms. James was named as a defendant in litigation that resulted in $90 million in governance reforms,7 including mandated changes to the committee she led for 15 years. VS replaced its CEO and CFO in recent years, at the cost of $13 million in severance and related expenses.8 The Board's November 4, 2025 press release, issued under Ms. James’ leadership, claimed credit for that replacement while ignoring the poor succession decisions, failed strategic initiatives and ineffective allocation of capital that preceded it. Nearly five years after separating from L Brands, it is time for the Board to select another director as Chair. While the Company has refreshed its director bench since the 2021 spin-off, the Chair position has not turned over – Ms. James has held the Chair role throughout the entire period of these oversight failures. Months of Turnaround Do Not Make Up for Years of Underperformance: Since spinning off from L Brands in August 2021, VS has destroyed stockholder value under the Board's watch: Net income fell from $646 million to $161 million, a 75.1% decline, between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2025. Diluted EPS fell from $7.18 to $1.93. The Board repurchased 14.0 million shares for $625 million, generating a negligible $0.28 per share of EPS improvement. Operating margins collapsed from 12.8% to 4.1%. Guidance for fiscal year 2026 falls well short of targets set at the 2023 Investor Day. Revenue guided to $6.85–$6.95 billion versus a $7.4 billion target – a shortfall of nearly half a billion dollars. Operating margin guided to approximately 6.5% – roughly 40% below the 10%–12% target range. Failed Adore Me Acquisition: VS spent approximately $591 million9 to acquire Adore Me and told stockholders it would be earnings and cash flow accretive within the same year it closed.10 Three years later, Adore Me failed to meet its EBITDA and net revenue targets, with performance so underwhelming that the Company calculated that zero dollars were owed under the performance-based earnout.11 The Company has taken write-downs and restructuring charges against DailyLook while the search continues for its strategic purpose, and management continues to explore ways "to optimize [Adore Me] within the broader portfolio."12 The Company announced more than $155 million of impairments and restructuring charges in the latest fiscal quarter. Stockholders deserve accountability from both Ms. James as Chair and Ms. Naficy as the director the Company's own proxy described as a key partner in overseeing that acquisition. Ineffective Buyback Execution: The Board has authorized the identical amount of cash for repurchase programs with every renewal from 2021 to 2024 (totaling $1 billion authorized, of which $625 million has been spent), regardless of changes in profitability, cash flow and forecasts.13 In addition, the Board has not properly overseen the deployment of the capital it authorized. VS repurchased 14.0 million shares at an average price that was 47% above the Company’s volume-weighted average stock price14 because the Board failed to accelerate deployment of already-authorized capital as the stock price fell. This is not a record of considered capital allocation – it is a record of capital allocation that did not reflect the trajectory of the stock price or the Company's operating performance. Unresponsiveness to Stockholders: Replacing the CEO in 2024 was the right decision. Our question is: why did it take three years and 70%+ stockholder value destruction for this Board to reach that conclusion? A board that learns from its mistakes acts on them promptly – this Board takes credit for belatedly correcting them. That pattern of unresponsiveness extends to executive compensation: approximately 25% of votes cast at the 2025 Annual Meeting opposed the compensation of named executive officers – a significant dissent signal that the Board has yet to meaningfully address. It extends to board composition as well: despite BBRC's repeated calls for a stockholder representative, the Board's most recent director addition was not independently sourced – its own proxy discloses he was "initially identified as a potential director nominee by our CEO.”15 Poison Pill and Other Anti-Stockholder Governance: On May 20, 2025, the VS Board determined to entrench itself by unilaterally adopting a restrictive poison pill without first giving stockholders an opportunity to vote on it. In addition, just two of the independent directors have purchased stock since the Company’s 2021 spin-off. Total compensation to independent Board members to date is $10.6 million, but the total value of shares purchased by these independent Board members is approximately $0.15 million. The Board has extracted $70 in compensation for every $1 personally invested. We believe a Board that earns more from fees than it does from its stock ownership will prioritize protecting its seats over stockholder value. These failures – a $591 million acquisition gone wrong, $625 million in poorly timed buybacks, a poison pill adopted without stockholder approval and the refusal to add a stockholder representative to the Board – will not be fixed by the directors who presided over them. The Upcoming Annual Meeting Is an Opportunity to Upgrade the Board by Voting Against Ms. James and Ms. Naficy Ms. Super is building a new VS. She deserves a Board that matches her ambition. Voting AGAINST Ms. James’ and Ms. Naficy’s reelection is akin to “addition by subtraction” – we believe that a Board without them will bring fresh judgment to capital allocation, free management to focus on the core business rather than optimizing a failed acquisition and attract directors with the expertise this next phase demands. These are not changes that disrupt the turnaround. They are changes that accelerate it. Sincerely, Brett Blundy
