Prospects for the Nordstrom family <a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/nordstrom-family-store-going-private-case-1236403173/">taking their business private</a> next year look good.
<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/nordstrom-q3-results-beat-expectations-2024-sales-guidance-lifted-1236738210/">Nordstrom</a> Inc.'s financial results are improving. Executives have done a good job managing expectations. The Fed has cut rates twice this year, and the regulatory environment has loosened up.
Brothers Erik and Pete&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/tag/nordstrom/">Nordstrom</a>, along with other members of the&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/nordstrom-nyc-courreges-pop-up-exclusive-capsule-collection-1236702579/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;family and Mexican retailer Liverpool, have offered to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the company the group does not already own for $23 a share in cash, a total of $3.8 billion. The company is currently trading at around $23.19 a share. The Nordstrom family owns about one third of the stock. The family and any partners would have to own more than 50 percent of the voting shares to go private.
&nbsp;
The Nordstroms first tried to take their company private in 2017, offering <a href="https://wwd.com/feature/nordstrom-talks-break-down-next-move-unclear-1202634052/">$50 a share</a>, or $8.4 billion, with the backing of Leonard Green &amp; Partners.&nbsp;That offer was considered too low and rejected by a special committee of the board.
&nbsp;
Yet with the current lower offer, "I think the odds are decent and clearly better than last time," said Steve Dennis, author and president of SageBerry Consulting. "The business performance is more stable, interest rates are lowering, and there is lots of dry powder in the capital markets."
"We're expecting to see M&amp;A activity pick up next year," added Stephen Sadove, senior adviser for Mastercard and former chairman and chief executive officer of Saks Inc., commenting on the general deal-making environment. "There's money out there that should be put to use."
As Nordstrom executives work to take the company private — a process seen taking many months — they've been successful executing on strategic priorities, including an aggressive expansion of the Rack off-price chain, digital growth and comp gains at the Nordstrom business. But as one retail source said, "Nordstrom needs to do more work outside of the public markets to address the underlying performance of their core business."
While the Nordstroms underscored the strength of the business with third-quarter results and raised the sales guidance for 2024 overall, CEO Erik&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/human-resources/nordstrom-head-dei-colleen-mitchell-1236683999/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;cited a slowdown in the first couple of weeks of the fourth quarter, while Cathy Smith, chief financial officer, said the external environment is "uncertain" and that the company is "prudently cautious" on its outlook for the current quarter. Others, including executives at Gap Inc. and Lululemon Athletica Inc., sounded more bullish notes on the holiday season.
Nordstrom did report a third-quarter drop in net earnings, but there were increases in operating profits and sales revenues that surpassed Wall Street expectations. But investors remain concerned about expenses and by the commentary on sluggish early fourth-quarter selling.
Wall Street takes a dim view of&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/nordstrom-brothers-proposal-to-take-nordstrom-private-under-review-1236321193/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;and most department stores. Through a go-private transaction,&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/nordstrom-nyc-courreges-pop-up-exclusive-capsule-collection-1236702579/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;could reach a higher valuation, and preempt an unwanted bid for the company. Given its low stock price and the recent string of investor interest in department stores, including Kohl's and Macy's,&nbsp;<a href="https://wwd.com/business-news/financial/nordstrom-jwn-q1-2024-earnings-sales-increase-1236408611/">Nordstrom</a>&nbsp;could be vulnerable to takeover offers.
&nbsp;
On Thursday, Nordstrom declined to comment on the plan to take the company private, and referred WWD to its September disclosure by a special committee of the board, which indicated: "There can be no assurance that the company will pursue this transaction or other strategic outcome, or that a proposed transaction will be approved or consummated. The company does not intend to disclose further developments regarding this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary."
Two big questions surround the plan to go private: Is there a deadline for putting together a deal, and how would Nordstrom's strategies change once turning private?
"To accelerate growth and improve differentiation in a challenging market, Nordstrom needs to take bolder action to future proof it's business model much of which will take a lot of capital and not show payback for multiple years," Dennis said. "So getting out of the public eye could give them air cover, and allow them to not worry so much about quarterly earnings focus."
Going private takes the Nordstroms out from under the constant glare of Wall Street, and enables them to eliminate the time and costs of producing quarterly reports, staging conference calls and meetings with investors. Management would also deal with less public scrutiny, far fewer stakeholders and regulatory requirements, and can be more decisive with a smaller constituency to report to. They'll have more time to focus on long-term strategy and spend time with their families. Private companies can be less transparent so competitors know less about what they're up against.
But if Nordstrom had to borrow money and leverage up to do the deal, "it could put them in long-term financial jeopardy," Dennis said.

"Weighing Nordstrom's Chances Of Going Private; Since Disclosing Its Intentions On Taking Nordstrom Inc. Private, The Nordstrom Family Has Been Tight-lipped On What Progress Has Been Made" - WWD

Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Wednesday</a>.
For the third quarter, the company&#8217;s net sales increased 4.6% compared to the same period in fiscal 2023, total company comparable sales increased 4.0%, and gross merchandise value increased 5.3%.&nbsp;
JP Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss reiterated the Underweight rating on the stock, raising the price forecast to $21 from $20.
The analyst notes that despite favorable conditions for Nordstorm&#8217;s core customer base, including high personal savings rates, low debt service ratios, and significant household wealth creation, as well as favorable pricing and promotional factors, the company&#8217;s absolute and relative performance remains disappointing, with 2023 revenue levels and EBIT margins falling below 2019 levels.
JWN opened 12 Rack stores during the quarter, reflecting a 2.2% growth, and has a total of 23 Rack store openings year-to-date, in line with its 2024 guidance of 20-25 openings, with 15 expected in 2025, Boss added.

Survey Shows Only 42% Of Sales Are Authentic</a>
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated Market Perform rating on Nordstrom, raising the price forecast to $26 from $24.
The analyst notes that Nordstrom exceeded earnings expectations in the third quarter, driven by stronger sales, gross margins, and operating expense leverage.
Full-line segment growth was positive for the third consecutive quarter, and momentum at Rack continued.
However, despite this growth, management highlighted a slowdown in sales in late October and November.
As a result, Nordstrom cautiously raised its FY24 revenue growth outlook by 100 basis points, while keeping EBIT margin and EPS guidance unchanged. The company also noted elevated inventory due to slower-moving cold weather categories.
Given these factors, the analyst maintained a Market Perform rating. The analyst raised estimates to $2.00 in FY24, up from $1.95 previously. For FY25, the estimate goes to $2.06, up modestly from the prior estimate of $2.02.
Price Action: JWN shares are trading lower by 9.34% to $22.32 at last check Wednesday.

Earnings Beats

Nordstrom Q3 2024 Adj EPS $0.33 Beats $0.21 Estimate, Sales $3.46B Beat $3.35B Estimate

Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) heads into its third-quarter earnings release Tuesday after-hours with momentum after trading near 52-week highs following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40588492/nordstrom-stock-rallies-on-strong-q2-earnings-details">strong second quarter</a>.
What To Know: The company reported second-quarter EPS of 96 cents, surpassing expectations by 35.21%, although sales of $3.894 billion narrowly missed estimates. Year-over-year sales growth of 3.23%, alongside a 6.2% increase in digital sales, highlighted resilience in a challenging retail environment.
Nordstrom Rack continued to perform well, with net sales rising 8.8% and comparable sales increasing 4.1%. Gross profit margin improved by 155 basis points to 36.6%, driven by higher full-price sales and operational leverage. 
However, inventory grew 8.3%, outpacing sales growth and raising questions about stock management heading into the holiday season.
For the third quarter, analysts will focus on Nordstrom's ability to sustain growth across both banners, particularly the Rack segment, while maintaining margin improvements. Comparable sales, which rose 1.9% in the second quarter, will be closely watched as an indicator of consumer demand. 
Updated FY guidance of $1.75–$2.05 per share suggests confidence, but the third quarter results will be critical in validating the company's trajectory toward its 2024 priorities.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy JWN Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Nordstrom &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Nordstrom, which is trading at $24.55 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 4.07 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, JWN has a 52-week high of $24.99 and a 52-week low of $14.65.

Earnings Scheduled For November 26, 2024

Following a strong second-quarter performance, Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) will deliver insights into its third-quarter results Tuesday after-hours. In the second quarter, the company outperformed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40588492/nordstrom-stock-rallies-on-strong-q2-earnings-details">earnings expectations with EPS of $0.96</a>, a 35.21% beat over the consensus estimate of $0.71, driven by strategic pricing and operational efficiencies. 
What Happened: Although quarterly sales of $3.894 billion narrowly missed estimates, they represented a 3.23% year-over-year increase, with digital sales up 6.2% and notable growth in Nordstrom Rack's net sales (+8.8%).
The second quarter gross profit margin of 36.6%—a 155 basis point improvement—showcased Nordstrom's focus on full-price sales and leveraging higher volumes. However, the 8.3% increase in ending inventory relative to sales growth warrants attention as the company balances stock management in a dynamic retail landscape.

For the third quarter, analysts will likely focus on Nordstrom's ability to sustain growth across both banners, particularly Nordstrom Rack, which demonstrated robust performance in the second quarter. 
Comparable sales, which increased 1.9% in the prior quarter, could signal continued consumer resilience amid economic pressures. Margins and inventory levels will remain key indicators of operational efficiency.
Nordstrom's FY guidance of $1.75–$2.05 per share suggests confidence in its growth trajectory. With strategic momentum and a focus on profitability, third quarter results will be a critical checkpoint as the company progresses toward its 2024 objectives.
