Nordstrom's Strategic Shift: Navigating Challenges in the RetailIn the ever-evolving landscape of retail, Nordstrom ( NYSE:JWN ) stands at a pivotal crossroads, grappling with the aftermath of a global pandemic and the shifting tides of consumer behavior. The recent announcement of weaker-than-expected forecasts for 2024 has sent shockwaves through Wall Street, prompting analysts and investors alike to scrutinize the company's strategies for survival in a fiercely competitive market.
Amidst concerns of sluggish demand and cautious consumer spending, Nordstrom ( NYSE:JWN ) finds itself facing an uphill battle. Despite delivering strong holiday-quarter sales, the specter of inflation and higher interest rates looms large, casting doubt on the company's ability to stage a robust recovery. With annual revenue projections falling below expectations and profit per share estimates disappointing investors, Nordstrom's ( NYSE:JWN ) performance in the coming year hangs in the balance.
Analysts point to several key factors contributing to Nordstrom's challenges. The company's reliance on non-essential items, such as apparel and household goods, leaves it vulnerable to fluctuations in consumer sentiment and economic conditions. Moreover, intensifying competition from online retailers and fast-fashion brands has put pressure on Nordstrom's traditional brick-and-mortar model, necessitating a strategic rethink.
In response to these headwinds, Nordstrom ( NYSE:JWN ) is embarking on a bold new direction. Central to its strategy is a concerted effort to revitalize its discount banner Rack, leveraging it as a vehicle for growth in the burgeoning off-price channel. By tapping into the demand for affordable, trend-conscious products, Nordstrom ( NYSE:JWN ) aims to broaden its appeal and capture market share among lower-income consumers.
The decision to eschew new full-line stores in favor of expanding Rack's footprint underscores Nordstrom's commitment to adaptability and agility in a rapidly changing industry. By reallocating resources towards areas of growth and opportunity, the company seeks to carve out a niche in the market while mitigating the impact of stiff competition.
However, challenges persist on the horizon. Nordstrom must ( NYSE:JWN ) contend with Macy's, its peer in the retail sector, which has opted to pivot towards its luxury brands to court higher-earning clientele. The divergence in strategy highlights the divergent paths taken by retailers grappling with similar market forces, underscoring the complexity of the retail landscape.
As Nordstrom ( NYSE:JWN ) charts its course for the future, the road ahead remains fraught with uncertainty. Yet, amidst the turbulence, opportunities abound for those willing to embrace change and innovation. With a steadfast commitment to adaptation and a keen eye on emerging trends, Nordstrom stands poised to weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.
I like JWN at 14.13Nordstrom is still a profitable company, even if middle-class retail continues to evaporate.
It has BIG SUPPORT at this level.
Has a tendency to jump up from this level.
COUNTERPOINT: No real idea how many people are willing to buy/sell at prices lower than this; sub-14 hasn't been seen since late 2020.
Nordstrom Head and Shoulder'sJWN has a trailing twelve month Price to Earnings (PE) ratio of 73.69 which places it above the histroical average of roughly 15.
Another expensive retail name
#JWN has alot of stores in #California
Obviously not a great place to be a retailer, given the rampant crime spree going on in that state!
well The chart action clearly foretells further woes ahead ..
Nordstrom JWN - A Latent ScalpI hear that the economy is pretty bad right now. So bad that we're in a recession, although the Government doesn't like the word "recession."
The real word to describe the situation humanity is facing that nobody is saying yet, however, is "Depression."
Here in North America, we aren't quite there yet, but no amount of money printing and astroturfing is capable of keeping the true state of the environment, the food supply, the water sources, and our energy reserves hidden for all that much longer.
So, they say that for a company like Nordstrom, it's surely "a strong sell." After all, the whole sector is going down the drain because even the middle-upper class is spending less, and that surely is true.
Yet, one doesn't have to back up the dump truck to buy and hold something for 6 years, either.
Nordstrom's post-dump price action has some unique characteristics. Mainly, that for the better part of two weeks, it's been completely bearish.
It also has not retested the $20 psychological level to find buyers, or rebalanced the dump's gap. That all on its own is peculiar in a market that just loves to flirt with gaps after making them, at least a little bit.
With price trading as low as $16.84 on Friday, a run to $21 yields a 22% trade. Ideally, if price action is to do the pseudo fakeout dump I am expecting when markets open on Tuesday:
SPX / ES - Bull Whips and Bear Saws
One can get in cheaper than $16.84, and then the risk/reward is all the sweeter.
I believe it's without a doubt that an exceptional shakeout is coming in the markets, a fundamental correction that will crack the pre-COVID highs and have everyone questioning what's going to happen with their happiness and their investments.
So JWN Nordstrom is not something you would want to hold. You want to drop it like a hot potato. But its current setup does provide what may be an imminent opportunity.
NORDSTROM - BEARISH SCENARIONORDSTROM reported better than estimated Q2 results.
EPS came in at $0.81, better than the consensus estimate of $0.80. Revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $3.99 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $3.96 billion
Despite the good report
the American luxury department store chain is facing demand and customer traffic decelerating
The next price target is located at the $12 support level.

Gap up for earningsIf trends can hold we are likely to see a gap up from Nordstrom to the long term 500 EMA. With Nordstroms deal with Fanatics along with Macy's blowout, I can see a potential for a nice gain post earnings call. Potential buy in strategy would be to dollar cost from $36 down pre earnings.

GL and happy trading.
JWN I'm outThe market is getting heated. I eased into JWN below 13 with long term call options but I did not expect it to go bonkers so quickly. I scaled out. I'm hoping to see the market cool off some and look for more discounts or retracments. JWN might keep going- I don't know but I buy into fear, not fomo.

JWN still worth buying ?Good morning or good evening depending on what time zone you're in when reading this. 🤠
Today on the 25th our biggest stock in the portfolio released their Q3 earnings report. As of now we are 74% up on average in this stock. For all of you who aren't aware of what JWN is;
Nordstrom, Inc. engages in the manufacture and trade of clothes, shoes, and accessories. It operates through Retail and since this quarter more then 50% over their orders was done online !
CEO Erik Nordstrom opened with 3 areas of growth in the business.
- Digital, increased from 33% to 54% of their total business !
- Nordstrom Rack, is now 1/3th of the total business.
- 16 stores are still closed. This decreased overhead.
I personally think this is great ! Every retailer should be focusing a shift to online sales. Not only that but jus think what will happen to the gross profit margin !
- Pick up in stores Increased by 156% over last quarter !
Why am I still bullish on this stock even though I already have 74% gains ?
- Strong financial position, they still have 900m in cash. Plenty to survive this pandemic. They even reported 0.36$ earnings per share ! This beats analysts expectations by 0.35$ and shows that this company is a cash machine. 💲💰
- Digital sales now 1.6 Billion or 54% of total sales.
- Nordstrom will start paying dividends at some time. It might not be this quarter or not the next but once everything is over for sure.
- Family owned business and CEO, you just know they are working hard for their families name and heritage.
- CHRISTMAS is coming !!!
I think if the stock pulls back it is still interesting to add our position. If it goes up we still keep holding for probably at least a year or longer, maybe take some profit if it hits 30$. 💹

Could push past ResistanceHey guys, been watching since last week as nordstrom started to beak out from recent lows and seems to be following the trend pictured. Based on a 30 day close RSI I believe that the price can continue to follow this trend to $21, more conservative amount $19, if it is able to pass the resistance at $17.82. MACD is also cycling back into the green, price should continue to go up for time being.
I am fairly new to this, please let me know your thoughts. :)
Still learning and as always this is not Financial Advice.
Nordstrom Technical Analysis JWNBased on Technical Analysis and against the fundamental, it seems that the price might go up to level 22.00 USD
We can not be so confident as the bed news is that Nordstrom will be permanently closing 16 of its department stores, and this might impact on the Stock on Monday. It is better to be prudent and hold for now.
Buying now might be an Idea for a long term investment.
