Macy's, Inc.
Thesis
Macy's shares are currently undervalued due to temporary sales lag from rebranded stores. As customers adapt to Macy's promotional style and product offerings, sales are expected to recover, leading to a significant increase in revenue and stock price. The company has shown operational improvements post-merger, and historical trends suggest that retail stocks may be nearing a bottom, making this an opportune time to invest.
Did it work?
The thesis predicted a significant increase in revenue and stock price due to a recovery in sales, but after 223 months, the stock has only increased by 13.5%, which is not indicative of the substantial recovery anticipated. Given the long time frame, the expected operational improvements and market conditions have not materialized as projected, leading to a conclusion that the investment thesis has failed.
