Victoria's Secret Expects Inventories to Rise in 1Q -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-06

1343 ET - Victoria's Secret sees inventories rising high-single digits this quarter compared to a year earlier. Chief Financial Officer Scott Sekella says the growth is to support business trends and to contend with tariffs. He also attributes the increase to timing related to the company's operations, including its shift toward ocean freight from airfreight, which allows it to take in inventory earlier than last year, he says. Inventories remained healthy in the retailer's latest quarter, he adds. "We are entering 2026 with momentum despite an uncertain macro environment," he says during a call with analysts. "Our fundamentals remain strong and resilient." (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
