Profit drops by 60 percent: investors want to buy the American department store Macy’s

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

According to media reports, traditional American department store group Macy’s has received a takeover offer from financial investors. They submitted a bid worth approximately $5.8 billion.

The ‘Wall Street Journal’ and the financial service Bloomberg wrote this on Monday evening, citing informed people. There was no immediate comment from Macy’s. Macy’s is an American retail institution with several hundred department stores. The group is also known beyond the borders of the US as the organizer of the parade with giant balloons in New York during Thanksgiving at the end of November.

However, Macy’s – like other department store operators – is under strong pressure from online retail. In the latest quarter, sales fell seven percent year over year to $4.86 billion. Profits fell 60 percent to $43 million.

According to reports, the interested investors are investment companies Arkhouse Management and Brigade Capital Management. The offer was submitted on December 1 and Macy’s board of directors discussed it, the Wall Street Journal reported. However, it is unclear what the company thinks about this. (SDA)
