Hillary Super powers Victoria's Secret to a record turnaround

On June 2, 2026, with nine days to go before shareholders voted on a board activists had spent the past year attacking — after openly questioning whether she was equipped to run a public company — Hillary Super answered with a number. Victoria's Secret posted first-quarter earnings of 0.60 dollars a share, nearly double the 0.32 dollars analysts expected, on net sales up 15% to 1.56 billion dollars. The stock surged 47% in a day — its biggest single-day gain on record — to a record closing high of 80.06 dollars. For a brand that had been written off as a relic, it was the loudest possible rebuttal.
