Macy’s: Unfortunate Delay, but Preliminary Sales Match Expectations; Shares Undervalued
No-moat Macy’s postponed its third-quarter earnings report to Dec. 11 from Nov. 26 after it discovered that its delivery expenses over the past three years had been underreported by a total of $132 million-$152 million. The firm claims that a former employee intentionally misstated these costs. Although disappointing, the problem appears to be contained and the cost discrepancies are immaterial considering that Macy’s annual operating expenses exceed $8 billion.
