Macy's: An Undervalued Hidden Asset Play
Summary I give Macy's stock a buy rating. The company has strong cash flow and high-quality earnings. Macy's shares have an intrinsic value of $18.15, meaning the stock is currently undervalued by $7.02, almost 39% below its intrinsic value. The company has a price-to-book ratio of 0.68—much lower than that of its peers and the S&P 500—indicating an undervaluation of the company's assets. The company has a hidden real estate value of $20.74 per share, meaning that investors who purchase Macy's shares are getting in on the company's retail operations for free.

Macy's: Attractive Even With Mixed Guidance
Summary Macy's shares have underperformed, losing 30% over the past year, but modernization efforts show promise, particularly in the first 50 updated stores. Despite declining revenue, Macy's beat earnings expectations due to gains on asset sales, though overall sales and margins have been pressured. The company plans to close 150 underperforming stores by next year, focusing on modernizing remaining locations and investing in Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury. With a solid balance sheet and a 5.2% dividend yield, Macy's offers over 20% upside, making it a buy despite macroeconomic headwinds. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 13

Macy's: Growth Is Likely To Inflect Moving Forward (Rating Upgrade)
Summary I upgrade Macy's from hold to buy due to signs of positive growth inflection and improved fundamentals. 3Q24 earnings showed mixed results, but management's 4Q24 guidance indicates the first positive same-store-sales growth in 10 quarters. The success of the "First 50" program and organic demand improvement without heavy promotions bolster confidence in M's FY25 outlook. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Oct 07
Macy's Bold New Chapter Strategy Faces Too Many Uncertainties
Summary Macy's, Inc.'s CAGR is -17.70%, with a ten-period moving average CAGR of -5.37%, indicating a significant decline. Net sales have decreased in seven of the last ten years, with the latest report showing the second-weakest year since 2020. Despite declining metrics, Macy's management has introduced a restructuring plan titled "A Bold New Chapter" to revitalize the company. Macy's Bold New Chapter strategy faces too much competition, such as discount retailers and market disruptors, and this is the reason why I give Macy's shares a hold rating.

Macy's, Inc.: Potential For Growth Inflection, But I Am Hold Rated
Summary I am neutral on Macy’s, Inc. due to near-term concerns and lack of visibility into when a positive growth inflection will occur. Macy’s strategic initiatives, including the First 50 go-forward locations, show promise, but widespread impact across all stores will take time. Near-term challenges include store closures, elevated inventory levels, and poor same-store sales comparable growth, which justify a cautious approach. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Macy's: Margins And Go-Forward Sales Growth Critical To Q2 Results
Summary Macy's, Inc. shares have been on a downward trend due to a failed M&A transaction and consumer concerns, but have recovered recently given a strong retail sales report. I expect Macy's to beat earnings estimates for the quarter, with my focus on sales growth from remaining stores and stable margins, as well as inventory disciplined. Macy's management is confident in the turnaround, a confidence I share, and with the potential for a material buyback in the future, I view Macy's stock as a buy.
