On June 3, Victoria's Secret fell 5.07% in pre-market trading to $76.49/share, with trading volume of $2.74 million, giving back a small portion of the prior session's massive earnings-driven rally.
The stock surged approximately 47% on June 2 after reporting fiscal Q1 results that dramatically exceeded expectations. The company posted adjusted EPS of $0.60, roughly double the Wall Street consensus estimate of $0.28-$0.30, while net sales rose 15% year-over-year to $1.56 billion, topping forecasts by $40 million. Comparable store sales grew 13%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of positive growth across Victoria's Secret, PINK, and Beauty segments.
Management raised full-year fiscal 2026 net sales guidance to $70.3-$71.3 billion from a prior range of $68.5-$69.5 billion, and lifted adjusted operating income expectations to $550-$580 million from $430-$460 million. With approximately 19% of the float sold short, analysts noted the prior session's surge was amplified by short covering. The current pre-market retreat appears consistent with profit-taking after the historic single-day gain.
