NEGATIVE IMPACT
Nordstrom expects a revenue decline and has provided updated EPS guidance for fiscal 2023, reflecting the impact of its Canadian operations wind-down and an additional week in the fiscal year.
The projected revenue decline and the negative impact from the wind-down of Canadian operations are likely to be viewed negatively by investors, potentially leading to a short-term decrease in stock price. However, the additional 53rd week and the adjusted EPS excluding the wind-down charges may offset some concerns.
