Comparable sales at Macy’s owned and licensed stores fell 3.5% in the third quarter ended Nov. 2, bigger than the 1% decrease analysts had expected, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
The company now expects 2019 adjusted profit of between $2.57 per share and $2.77 per share, compared with its previous forecast of between $2.85 and $3.05.
