 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Limited Brands said on Wednesday that its second quarter earnings rose 39 percent, helped by strong sales at its Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works chains.
The retailer posted a profit of $113.1 million, or 28 cents a share, for the quarter ended July 29 compared with earnings of $81.5 million, or 20 cents a share, a year ago. Revenue rose to $2.5 billion from $2.3 billion.
Sales at stores open at least a year — considered a key indicator of a retailer's strength — rose 5 percent.
