By Remy Blaire Wall Street settled higher for the second session in a row. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) managed to add another triple-digit gain heading into the closing bell, tracking the Nasdaq and S&P 500 into positive territory. The Nasdaq-100 (IXIC) extended its surge higher bringing its advance above 25% YTD. Retailer earnings are painting a mixed picture on consumer spending across the nation. Discretionary spending patterns were reflected in quarterly results for Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT) and Home Depot (HD). One retailer shrugging off analyst skepticism over discretionary purchases is Ohio-based Bath & Body Works (BBWI). Shares of the company rallied over 10% with trading volume coming in at over three times the daily average, after it reported fiscal Q1 earnings that topped estimates and as it raised its full-year guidance. The maker of body care products and home fragrances is expanding its lineup to include men’s grooming items, haircare, and laundry. Bath & Body Works found success with its customer loyalty program, limited edition product drops, and addition of natural product formulations. The retailer offers a dizzying array of fragrances for everyday hand soap and hand sanitizer, from Firecracker Fizz, Wildberry Lemonade to Poolside Pomelo. Bath & Body Works hopes to boost revenue in 2023 with the addition of essential household items to its product lineup – including scented shampoo and detergents.
