Victoria's Secret & Co's pretax margin has fluctuated over the past few years, indicating variations in the company's profitability before taxes. In January 2023, the pretax margin was 6.80%, showing a relatively healthy profit margin. However, by January 2024, the pretax margin had declined significantly to 2.38% and continued to decrease slightly to 2.30% by February 2024. This downward trend in profitability may signal challenges in cost management or revenue generation during that period.
Nonetheless, there was a slight improvement in the pretax margin by January 2025, where it increased to 3.55%. This uptick suggests that Victoria's Secret & Co may have taken steps to enhance profitability, though it remained below the levels seen in January 2023.
