Why Macy's Stock Is Volatile Today
Portfolio Pulse from Henry Khederian
Macy's Inc (NYSE:M) stock is experiencing volatility, trading lower by 3.7% after Citigroup downgraded it from Neutral to Sell. This follows a surge on Monday due to a reported $5.8 billion buyout offer from an investor group led by Arkhouse Management and Brigade Capital Management. The offer aims to take Macy's private at $21 per share, a 32% premium over the recent closing price. Macy's has struggled against online competition, with its share value significantly reduced from its 2015 peak.
