Macy’s raises annual forecasts, reports first quarterly sales growth in nearly four years

Macy’s raised its annual forecast and posted its first quarterly sales growth in nearly four years, signaling a meaningful turnaround in demand. The improvement was driven by strong high-end apparel and accessories sales, especially at Bloomingdale’s. The update is supportive for Macy’s fundamentals and likely positive for the stock, though the impact is company-specific rather than sector-wide.
