- The department store sector could see an impact after Macy's drops guidance sharply.
- CEO Terry Lundgren sent a shiver across the industry by saying Macy's will take markdowns to clear inventory ahead of the crucial holiday season. Macy's reported soft U.S. traffic and sales in Q3.
- Kohl's (NYSE:KSS), Dillard's (NYSE:DDS), and Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) are on watch. Perhaps an outlier, J.C. Penney is higher in early action after tipping a strong 6% comp in Q3.
