- Revenue of $7.64 billion also edged past expectations of $7.51 billion.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Macy’s Stock
The earnings beat was good news, but Macy’s stock faces a trickier road ahead.
For fiscal 2026, the company guided for
- revenue of $21.4 to $21.65 billion and
- adjusted EPS of $1.90 to $2.10.
- Both figures would be a step down from 2025 levels, and
- the earnings guidance came in below Wall Street’s $2.17 estimate.
Management was upfront about why. Tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty, and softer consumer spending are all variables that are hard to plan around.
Spring put it plainly: the company is focused on what it can control.
Macy’s expects tariffs to hit hardest in the first half of the year, with Q1 seeing the biggest margin pressure.
Even with the cautious outlook, Macy’s stock has held up better than many expected, up 32% over the past 12 months.
The question now is whether the momentum from the Bold New Chapter strategy can offset the macro headwinds that management flagged. Investors seem willing to wait and see.
