Rhea AI M FY2026

Macy’s is protecting cash flow through inventory and expense discipline even as sales keep drifting lower.

In the latest year, gross margin stability near 40.3% and operating-margin recovery to 4.6% arrived even though revenue was still shrinking, which points to expense control and cleaner inventory management rather than a demand-led rebound. The key tell is that SG&A fell to $8.24B, so more of each gross-profit dollar stayed above the operating line.

Cash generation is now stronger than accounting profit: operating cash flow of $1.43B against net income of $642M suggests earnings were backed by cash rather than balance-sheet accruals. With inventory reduced to $4.41B, less cash is tied up in merchandise waiting to be sold.

The balance sheet has been repaired while sales shrank: long-term debt is down to $2.43B and cash has climbed to $1.25B, reducing dependence on outside financing. A current ratio of 1.5x and debt-to-equity of 0.5x show more short-term cushion and less leverage than during the recent profit squeeze.
