  • Solid quality (63/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • A fairly wide model range ($29.40 to $63.26) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Macy's, Inc (M) currently trades at $25.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $43.15, implying the stock looks roughly 69.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Macy's, Inc generated revenue of $22.7B at a net margin of 2.9%. Revenue grew 2.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.4%. Net debt stands at $4.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $29.40 (bear case) to $63.26 (bull case); at $25.40, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 148% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 50% fair-value upside, at 70%, M screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
