On October 15, Macy's posted an Intraday Rise of 5.18% in Regular Trading, trading at $23.845, with turnover of $70.21 million.
The move followed news that S&P Global Ratings revised Macy's issuer outlook to positive from stable while affirming its BB+ issuer credit rating, signaling the company could return to investment-grade status over the next 12 to 18 months.
The outlook change was tied to five consecutive quarters of comparable sales growth, stable gross margin performance, and continued execution of the Bold New Chapter turnaround plan. The rating action also came after Macy's reported second-quarter net profit of $169 million on revenue of $4.866 billion, above market expectations of $4.826 billion, reinforcing expectations of improving fundamentals.
