June was another ugly month at Victoria’s Secret.

The embattled lingerie chain, which in its heyday made household names of models like Alessandra Ambrosio, on Thursday reported sagging same-store sales — and once again investors turned tail, leaving little support for the stock.

Shares of parent company L Brands fell 12 percent, to $32.34.

Victoria’s Secret same-store sales in June fell 1 percent. The month is a crucial period, as it is when the chain holds its semi-annual sale.

Brick-and-mortar same-store sales slipped 6 percent.

“We extended the sale time period versus last year by about two weeks and reduced pricing to drive traffic and clear inventory,” said Amie Preston, chief investor relations officer, in a statement.

Inventory levels were up 20 percent in June compared with last year, the company said.

L Brands also owns the teen-focused PINK brand and Bath & Body Works.
