Macy’s reported a 1.1% year-over-year revenue decline in Q4 2025, reflecting persistent macroeconomic headwinds and weak growth drivers amid a challenging retail environment. Despite revenue struggles, the company maintains strong fundamentals, including solid liquidity, manageable debt levels, and a loyal premium customer base, which help mitigate downside risks. Valuation models suggest Macy’s stock is undervalued, with a dividend discount model (DDM) targeting $25.08, but analysts warn upside potential remains limited due to ongoing market pressures. Technical indicators stay bearish after the stock hit a four-month low of $16.90 in early 2026, with recent rebound attempts failing to reverse the downward trend. The analyst maintains a "hold" rating, citing modest upside and elevated macroeconomic and technical risks that outweigh bullish arguments for now.

Alexander Shapovalov/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Two months after my previous analysis, we have seen how Macy’s, Inc. (M), hit its four-month low of $16.90. And despite the rebound attempts of the stock price, technical risks are still present. I can’tThis article was written byAsian Value Investor791 FollowersFollowI have been working in the logistics sector for almost two decades. I have been into stock investing and macroeconomic analysis for almost a decade. Currently, I focus on ASEAN and NYSE/NASDAQ Stocks, particularly in banks, telco, logistics, and hotels. Since 2014, I have been trading on the PH stock market. I focus on banking, telco, and retail sectors. A colleague encouraged me to engage in the stock market as part of my portfolio diversification instead of putting all my savings in banks and properties. That was also the year when insurance companies became very popular in the PH. Initially, I invested in popular blue-chip companies. Now, I have investments across different industries and market cap sizes. There are stocks I hold for my retirement, while others are purely for trading profits. In 2020, I also entered the US Market. It was about a year after I discovered Seeking Alpha. Originally, I was using the trading account of NY CA-based cousin. Somehow, I acted like his personal broker. That made me more aware of the US market before deciding to open my own account. I decided to write for Seeking Alpha to share and gain more knowledge since I have been trading on the US market for only four years. Like in the ASEAN market, I have holdings in US banks, hotels, shipping, and logistics companies. I discovered it in 2018. Since then, I have been using the analyses here to compare them to the ones I'm doing in the PH Market.Analyst’s Disclosure: I/we have no stock, option or similar derivative position in any of the companies mentioned, and no plans to initiate any such positions within the next 72 hours.
