Insights

Nordstrom's holiday performance reveals a compelling turnaround story, with total comparable sales growth of 5.8% significantly outpacing expectations. The Nordstrom Rack banner's net sales increase of 7.4% is particularly noteworthy, suggesting successful execution of the off-price strategy in a promotional environment. The raised full-year guidance - now expecting revenue growth of 1.5-2.5% versus previous 0-1.0% - demonstrates management's increased confidence in the business trajectory.

The comparable sales growth projection upgrade to 2.5-3.5% from 1.0-2.0% indicates stronger underlying business momentum. Most crucially, maintaining profitability guidance despite the promotional environment suggests effective inventory management and operational discipline. The 6.5% comparable sales growth in the core Nordstrom banner reflects successful merchandise selection and pricing strategies during the critical holiday period.

The holiday results underscore a significant shift in consumer behavior and retail dynamics. Despite persistent inflation concerns, Nordstrom's performance indicates robust consumer spending in both full-price and off-price segments. The stronger-than-expected sales growth, particularly in the Rack division, suggests effective positioning in the value-conscious market segment while maintaining brand integrity in the core business.

The company's ability to navigate the promotional environment while protecting margins points to sophisticated pricing algorithms and inventory management. The 135 basis point adjustment for the 53rd week provides transparency in year-over-year comparisons. Looking ahead, the maintained profitability guidance alongside increased sales projections signals potential operating leverage benefits, which could positively impact earnings quality.

SEATTLE, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) today announced a total Company net sales increase of 4.9 percent and a comparable sales increase of 5.8 percent for the nine-week holiday period ended January 4, 2025, compared with the nine weeks ended December 30, 2023.

"For the full year, we're raising our topline outlook and reaffirming our profitability guidance."
