What are Wall Street analysts saying about Macy's stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Macy's stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Macy’s have declined and underperformed the industry in a month on account of weaker-than-expected holiday sales figures, in spite of taking a slew of measures such as Backstage, Vendor Direct, Store Pickup, Loyalty Program and Growth50 stores. Comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis inched up 1.1% during November and December period combined. Nevertheless, digital business remained robust and recorded double-digit growth. The company kick-started the season on a solid note primarily during Black Friday and the following Cyber Week but lost momentum in the mid-December period only to regain some pace during Christmas. Following soft sales data, the company trimmed fiscal 2018 sales and earnings projection. Macy’s now expects comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis to increase about 2%, while net sales are expected to remain flat. The company forecasts earnings in the band of $3.95-$4.00 per share." (1/14/2019)
- 2. Cowen Inc analysts commented, "We update Discovery (DISCA, Neutral, $24 PT) estimates for the recent international PGA Tour deal, and as a follow up to recent earnings. Overall, our core OIBDA estimates don’t move much. We want to like the novel PGA partnership, but see the initial take of minimal impact to the P&L in the initial years as arguing for a wait and see approach. Our core stance on Discovery’s equity remains one of benign consternation. Discovery, we believe, is executing pretty well in a secularly challenged cable network sector that investors seem to basically hate at the moment. Its FCF valuation looks way too cheap. But we don’t know what prompts a re-rating at this point." (6/7/2018)
