Macy's Stock: Executive Selloff Amid Challenging Outlook
Macy's executives have recently engaged in significant stock sales as the retail giant's share price hovers near its 52-week low. CEO Antony Spring sold shares worth approximately $323,126 in late March transactions at average prices between $12.68 and $12.77. Similarly, Executive Vice President Adrian Mitchell, who serves as both COO and CFO, divested company shares valued at $171,959. The company's Chief Legal Officer also sold 2,780 shares at an average price of $12.68. According to corporate statements, these non-discretionary sales were conducted to cover tax liabilities associated with restricted stock unit transfers. The sales coincide with a challenging period for Macy's, whose stock has experienced a 10% decline in recent trading, placing it near its yearly low of $12.48.
Financial Performance Concerns
Despite outperforming analyst expectations with fourth-quarter earnings of $1.80 per share compared to the projected $1.54, Macy's missed revenue targets, reporting $8.0 billion against an anticipated $8.4 billion. The company has issued conservative guidance for fiscal year 2025, projecting earnings between $2.05 and $2.25 per share—below market expectations—and forecasting comparable sales declines of 0.5% to 2.0%. In response, several financial institutions including TD Cowen, Citi, and JPMorgan have reduced their price targets to $14. Management's turnaround strategy involves closing 150 underperforming locations while expanding luxury offerings by 20%, initiatives they project will generate substantial returns over the next three years.
