Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Consumer Stocks With Over 5% Dividend Yields

It&#8217;s no secret Macy&#8217;s Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42166888/stock-of-the-day-accounting-fraud-at-macys">its fair share</a> of challenges in the last decade. Activist investor Barington Capital issued a press release on Monday urging the 166-year-old department store company to focus on its real estate portfolio while repurchasing shares.
The Press Release: Barington and Thor Equities&#8217;s letter <a href="https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/23431eee-32b7-41bf-b572-6a3046271716/downloads/91b86c05-ef62-4e67-bab1-953e566d224c/Macy_s%2C%20Inc.%20-%20Press%20Release%20-%20December%209%2C%20202.pdf?ver=1733745550886">asks</a> Macy&#8217;s to form a separate real estate subsidiary to &#8220;optimize the value&#8221; of its holdings.
Barington and Thor estimate Macy&#8217;s real estate to be worth between $5 billion and $9 billion. The current market capitalization of the company is $4.64 billion.
&#8220;We invested in Macy's because we believe the shares are mispriced relative to the upside potential we see in management's new strategic plan and the compelling value of the Company's owned real estate assets,&#8221; Barington chairman James Mitarotonda said. &#8220;However, we are concerned with Macy's large capital expenditure programs.&#8221;
Mitarotonda says Macy&#8217;s should use its excess cash to return capital to shareholders instead of capital expenditures.
Why it Matters: Barington owns 650,000 shares of Macy&#8217;s according to its most recent 13F filing, representing around 10% of its portfolio. Macy&#8217;s has over 270 million shares outstanding.
Many analysts and shareholders have identified the New York-based company&#8217;s value to be derived mostly from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/12/36169920/investor-group-pitches-5-8-billion-acquisition-proposal-for-macys">the underlying value</a> of its valuable real estate. Macy&#8217;s is commonly seen as a buy-out candidate for its real estate assets.
The department store operating model has struggled in recent years as e-commerce has risen in popularity.
Competitor Kohls Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) has faced similar pressure to focus on the value of its real estate. The board of directors of the Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based company rejected a $53-per-share takeover bid in 2022. Its shares are now trading at $15.26, down nearly 50% since rejecting the offer.

Activist Investor Urges Macy's To Rethink Strategy, Prioritize Shareholder Returns

Live On CNBC, Jenny Harrington Announces Sold Kohl's

Kohl's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.22% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 38.05 million shares sold short, which is 47.79% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.28 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Kohl's Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733318122_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Kohl's has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Kohl's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kohl's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.43%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
