Victoria’s Secret shares slip despite Q4 earnings beat and strong outlook

Victoria’s Secret & Co (NYSE:VSCO) reported fourth-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations and issued an optimistic forecast, but the company’s shares declined in premarket trading.

The retailer posted earnings per share of $2.77 for the fourth quarter, surpassing analysts’ forecasts of $2.47. Revenue reached $2.27 billion, also topping the consensus estimate of $2.22 billion.

Comparable sales rose 8% during the quarter, while comparable sales for the full year increased 5%.

Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $316 million, coming in above the company’s previously issued guidance.

“We delivered an exceptional fourth quarter and a standout year, exceeding top- and bottom-line guidance with broad based outperformance across brands, channels and geographies,” said Hillary Super, CEO of Victoria’s Secret.

“We enter fiscal 2026 from a position of strength,” she added.

Looking ahead, Victoria’s Secret expects first-quarter revenue to range between $1.49 billion and $1.525 billion, ahead of the consensus estimate of $1.42 billion. At those sales levels, the company projects operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 between $32 million and $42 million.
