Victoria's Secret (VSXY) Raises Outlook After Strong Quarter As Fair Value Stays In Focus

Victoria's Secret (VSXY) raised its 2026 outlook and reported stronger Q2 sales and earnings. Despite a 24.26% 1-month share price drop to $75.72, its YTD gain is 41.90% and 1-year return is 195.09%. Analysts peg its fair value at $92.60, suggesting a potential undervaluation. The company's transformation and omnichannel growth drive revenue and market share growth, but risks include tariff costs and mall traffic struggles.
