Macy's looks cheap

Macy's (NYSE:M)’s shares are losing value after the company posted first quarter results that were worse than what analysts had expected. The Ohio-based department store company’s comparable sales decreased by 5.2% in the period, comp sales in the full year 2017 are expected to drop by 2.2%-3.3%.
