Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts expect Macy's (M - Free Report) to post break-even quarterly earnings per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year decline of 100%. Revenues are expected to be $4.78 billion, down 8.6% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been adjusted downward by 0.8% to its current level. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.
Prior to a company's earnings release, it is of utmost importance to factor in any revisions made to the earnings projections.

Empirical studies consistently reveal a strong link between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
