  • Macy's would be more valuable if it just shut down its business and sold everything off for parts. That's the argument activist investment firm Barington Capital and private equity firm Thor Equities said in a proposal Monday that called on the company to make drastic changes to boost its stock price.

The article from CNN Business discusses Macy's strategic shift towards real estate monetization as part of its broader turnaround plan. Facing declining sales and the rise of e-commerce, Macy's has been selling off some of its valuable real estate assets to generate capital. This move is aimed at reducing debt, funding store renovations, and investing in digital transformation. Investors and analysts are closely watching these transactions, as they could significantly impact Macy's financial health and stock performance. The article highlights specific deals, including the sale of its flagship Herald Square store in New York and other prime locations, which are expected to fetch high prices due to their prime urban locations. However, there's a mixed reaction from the market; while some see it as a smart financial strategy, others worry about the long-term implications of losing physical retail space.
