I approach Macy's as a cigar-butt-and-turnaround question. It is a 90,000-employee department-store operator with Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Bluemercury. The FairStock Lynch category is SLOW GROWER — Shrinking, with profit down about 18.1% a year over four years and revenue down 2.9%. Filed figures confirm the pressure: in FY2023, the year ended 2024-02-03, revenue was $23.1B and net income was $45M; in FY2024, the year ended 2025-02-01, revenue was $22.3B and net income was $582M; in FY2025, the year ended 2026-01-31, revenue was $21.8B and net income was $642M. So profits recovered sharply from a low base, but sales kept sliding. In fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-05-02, revenue was $4.7B and net income was $63M; in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-08-01, revenue was $4.9B and net income was $169M.

In plain English: Macy's runs department stores and websites, including Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury. Profits have improved in the latest reported year, but sales have slipped over several years and the company carries meaningful debt. The stock looks inexpensive compared with the company's profits and cash flow, though the business still faces real risks.
