Description: M Macy’s November 08, 2025

Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) is an omni-channel retailer operating department-store formats, e-commerce sites, and mobile apps across the United States under the Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and Bluemercury brands, with licensed stores in Dubai and Kuwait. Founded in 1830 and headquartered in New York, the firm transitioned from Federated Department Stores to its current name in 2007 and now competes in the Broadline Retail sub-industry.

Key recent metrics (FY 2023): comparable sales fell 1.8% YoY, while e-commerce sales grew 9.5% and now represent roughly 30% of total revenue; inventory turnover improved to 4.2×, reflecting tighter supply-chain management. The business is sensitive to consumer-discretionary spending, which is currently constrained by elevated inflation and higher interest rates that depress discretionary purchases and foot traffic in malls.
