Victoria’s Secret & Co. Updates on Security Incident and Financial Performance

Victoria’s Secret & Co. (NYSE: VSCO), a prominent retailer in the Consumer Discretionary sector, recently disclosed a security incident involving its information technology systems. On May 24, 2025, the company detected unauthorized network access and promptly enacted its response protocols. To contain the situation, Victoria’s Secret engaged third-party experts and temporarily shut down its corporate systems and e-commerce website. This precautionary measure led to the website being offline for approximately three days in late May.

Despite the security incident, Victoria’s Secret confirmed that its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 were not impacted. However, the company has decided to postpone the release of its quarterly earnings report. The delay is attributed to the need for a thorough investigation and resolution of the security breach. Victoria’s Secret expects its net sales, adjusted operating income, and adjusted diluted EPS for the first quarter to be near or exceed the high-end of previously issued guidance ranges.

This incident is not isolated within the retail industry. Peer companies such as Marks & Spencer and Cartier have also faced cybersecurity challenges that affected their online operations. As Victoria’s Secret works to resolve the issue, it continues to serve its global customer base with a wide range of apparel and personal care products.

In terms of financial fundamentals, Victoria’s Secret & Co. has a market capitalization of $1.82 billion. The company’s stock closed at $21.21 on May 29, 2025, with a 52-week high of $48.73 and a low of $13.76. The price-to-earnings ratio stands at 12.81.

Investors and analysts are closely monitoring the situation, as the company navigates the aftermath of the security incident while maintaining its operational and financial objectives.
