Things are looking good if you are a fan of the Victoria's Secret brand. While the world's most renowned women's lingerie brand usually sells its good at a hefty price tag, consumers now get the opportunity to buy these articles at a large discount as new promotions and limited time offerings are being featured in the stores and on the website on a daily basis. While this is great news for the Victoria's Secret consumer, it is a thorn in the eye of the investors who have placed their money in L Brands, the mother company behind Victoria's Secret. L Brands shares are down 46% YTD, and some sell-side analysts are convinced that L Brands shares still face more downside.
The question one has to ask however is, whether or not Victoria's Secret is really the most important entity within the L Brands consortium. Surely, it is undeniable that Victoria's Secret is the most famous brand within the group, and in terms of revenues, it towers over the other brands. When shifting the focus to operating income, however, it becomes clear that there are other brands in the portfolio that are contributing more to the bottom line than Victoria's Secret. While most bullish pitches about L brands argue that the problems at Victoria's Secret are short-term related and that it is a strong brand that is set to make a turnaround, I look at L Brands in a different way. I do not deny the potential of a Victoria's Secret turnaround, nor do I question the strong brand. The numbers however prove that Victoria's Secret is in a severely troubled state, and I am of the opinion that actions chosen by management are insufficient. I however believe the case can be made that the Bath & Body Works brand is severely undervalued within the L Brands group and that the market does not fully appreciate the optionality that L Brands has in creating value by spinning off or discontinuing certain parts within the group.
