Why Bath & Body Works Stock Was Surging Today: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/709909/customer-checking-out-in-a-retail-store.jpg

Shares of Bath & Body Works (NYSE: BBWI) were up 24% as of 1:18 p.m. EST on Thursday after the company announced better-than-expected earnings results.

Weak sales growth amid a weak economic backdrop has sent the stock down 44% year to date, but the company is still not out of the woods.

Management attributed the quarter's performance to "innovation and newness," but it's still a rough environment for retailers as the company's sales declined by 5% year over year. This translated to a 40% drop in earnings per share from continuing operations to $0.40.
