Nov 20 (Reuters) - Bath & Body Works ( BBWI ) trimmed

its annual profit and sales forecast on Thursday, signalling

weak demand for its scented candles and fragrances among

cash-strapped shoppers and mounting costs, sending shares

down 15% in premarket trading.

It now expects 2025 net sales to decline by low single digits,

compared with its prior forecast of a growth between 1.5% to

2.7%. It slashed its fiscal 2025 earnings per share forecast to

at least $2.87, from prior forecast range of $3.35 to $3.60.
