Macy's gains momentum as earnings beat estimates and outlook improves

Macy’s posted a strong Q2 with 2.7% same-store sales growth led by Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury, and adjusted EPS of $0.63 beating estimates helped by roughly $0.23 per share in tariff refunds; net sales reached $4.87 billion. The company plans to reinvest most of the tariff refunds ($96 million) and lift full-year guidance to net sales of $21.6–$21.8 billion, 1.0%–1.5% same-store growth, and adjusted EPS of $2.15–$2.35 as its Bold New Chapter strategy continues (store closures and brand investments).

Macy’s 2026 Fourth of July Fireworks: Free streaming, star lineup, and NYC viewing tips

Macy’s annual Fourth of July fireworks will air on NBC from 8–10 p.m. ET with a pre-show hosted by Terry Crews and performances by Post Malone, Noah Kahan, Salt-N-Pepa, Shaboozey and Bebe Rexha. For cord-cutters, free streaming options include DIRECTV’s five‑day trial with NBC, Peacock live streaming, and a seven‑day Prime Video trial. In NYC, viewing spots line the East and Hudson Rivers, with public areas along the FDR Drive; the event requires a large crew (about 75 people, up to 12 days to prepare) and is rare for both rivers to be show at once. Macy’s will post viewing details on its site.

Buffett’s Quiet Macy’s Bet Emerges in Berkshire’s Q1 Filing

Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a roughly $55 million stake in Macy’s in the first quarter—a “tiny purchase” Warren Buffett suggested in March—though the filing covers only U.S.-listed holdings. The quarter also included a much larger $2.6 billion stake in Delta Air Lines, and Berkshire may have non-listed or international positions not shown in the filing. Buffett, who stepped down as CEO in 2026, remains actively involved in investment decisions, coordinating with Mark Millard as Greg Abel leads daily operations. The firm also sold Mastercard and Visa as it unwinds Todd Combs’ holdings.

Macy’s Gains Steam as Saks Falls Into Bankruptcy, Reshaping Luxury Dept. Stores

Saks Global’s bankruptcy creates a window of opportunity for Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, which have been outperforming the broader luxury‑retail downturn. As Saks’ struggles potentially divert inventory and customers, Macy’s turnaround—driven by tighter store footprints, stronger leadership under Tony Spring, and first-year sales growth that beat expectations—has momentum. Analysts say sustaining gains will hinge on fundamentals like customer service and inventory discipline, even as e‑commerce and the booming secondhand luxury market continue to reshape the department‑store model and Saks could still emerge from bankruptcy.
