Victoria's Secret changed its ticker symbol to VSXY two weeks ago, declared itself a brand that celebrates sexy in all its forms, and got roundly mocked for it (us included). Then it posted earnings of 60 cents per share against a 30-cent consensus, raised full-year guidance by more than $100 million, and watched its stock surge 40% in premarket trading.

The critics must have their lace thongs in a twist.

The numbers are genuinely good. Revenue of $1.56 billion beat estimates. Comparable sales grew 13% against an 11.4% expectation. Full-price selling is up, promotions are down, and the bra business, which CEO Hillary Super has spent two years rebuilding as the emotional anchor of the entire company, posted double-digit comparable sales growth. Super told CNBC growth was "very consistent" across every channel, every brand, and every geography. She used the phrase "supercharging bras" without apparent irony, which is exactly the energy VSXY requires.

The most revealing number in the release is who's buying. The strongest growth came from households earning under $50,000 and those earning above $200,000 simultaneously. In a quarter where every other retailer is watching its lower-income customer quietly disappear, Victoria's Secret is growing fastest at both ends of the income spectrum. Hillary Super has been saying for two years that the brand's problem was the product, not the customer. Tuesday's numbers are the first real evidence she might be right.

Victoria's Secret spent years being criticized for unrealistic beauty standards, an outdated mall footprint, and a brand identity that felt stuck in 2003. Super has spent two years quietly fixing all three. The stock is up 40%. That’s VSXY indeed.
