Despite owning the leading premium brand in its industry, Victoria's Secret parent company L Brands (NYSE:LB) is having a very challenging year. Shares of the company, which also owns Bath & Body Works and the PINK apparel brand, are down a stunning 52% on the year.
That decline has pushed its dividend yield up above 9% and its price-to-earnings ratio down to 8.8 times earnings.
L Brands Total Return, Dividend Yield, and P/E Ratio: data by YCharts.
Those kinds of metrics portend a rapid deterioration, but also might bring out value investors, who often look at beaten-down stocks poised for a turnaround.
At first glance, it may seem like L Brands is doing OK. Last quarter, revenue climbed 8.3%, which doesn't exactly make the company seem like a deteriorating business. However, a closer look at its financials reveals those growth numbers aren't nearly as beautiful as they appear.
