Barington Capital Group and Thor Equities, shareholders of Macy's (NYSE: M), published a detailed presentation recommending changes to improve shareholder value. The investors highlight that Macy's shares have declined approximately 70% over the past decade despite spending $9.7 billion on capital expenditures.
The investors propose several key changes including: reducing capital expenditures to 1.5-2% of total sales, repurchasing $2-3 billion in stock over three years, creating a separate real estate subsidiary to optimize real estate assets valued at $5-9 billion, and evaluating strategic alternatives for Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury luxury operations.
While supporting the new CEO's 'Bold New Chapter' strategic plan, which includes closing low-productivity stores, the investors believe their recommendations could lead to a 150-200% total return for stockholders over three years.
