Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE: VSCO) surged after reporting first-quarter results above expectations and raising its full-year outlook, supported by double-digit sales growth, stronger comparable sales, and higher operating income.
Victoria’s Secret is a specialty retailer focused on intimate apparel, sleepwear, beauty products, and lifestyle merchandise through the Victoria’s Secret, PINK, and Beauty brands.
The company reported adjusted EPS of $0.60, above estimates of $0.29, representing a 106.9% earnings surprise. Revenue came in at $1.56 billion, above estimates of $1.53 billion, with revenue growth of 15.3%.
Victoria’s Secret reported revenue of $1.56 billion, up from $1.35 billion in the prior-year quarter. Comparable sales increased 13%, marking the company’s fourth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales.
The company said growth was broad-based, with double-digit sales increases across Victoria’s Secret, PINK, and Beauty. Operating income reached $76 million, while adjusted operating income came in at $80 million, well above the company’s prior guidance range of $32 million to $42 million.
The strong results reflected better demand across North America stores, direct channels, and international markets. The stock also had high short interest before the report, which may have amplified the post-earnings rally as investors reacted to the beat and raised outlook.
Victoria’s Secret raised its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to $7.03 billion to $7.13 billion, up from its previous range of $6.85 billion to $6.95 billion.
The company also raised adjusted operating income guidance to $550 million to $580 million, compared with its prior range of $430 million to $460 million.
For the second quarter, Victoria’s Secret expects revenue of $1.59 billion to $1.62 billion, compared with $1.46 billion in the prior-year period. Operating income is expected to be $90 million to $100 million.
Investors are likely to watch whether Victoria’s Secret can sustain comparable sales growth while improving margins and rebuilding brand momentum.
The key areas are comparable sales, PINK performance, Beauty growth, direct channel demand, international sales, operating income, margin recovery, short interest, and full-year guidance.
Victoria’s Secret delivered one of its strongest recent quarters, with revenue growth, a major earnings beat, positive comps, and a sizable guidance raise.
The stock reaction suggests investors viewed the quarter as more than a one-time beat. The results showed improving brand momentum, stronger execution, and a better profit outlook after several years of uneven demand.
