The majority of the retailers in the S&P 500, like Macy's, Gap and L brands, failed to beat the market in 2019
Macy's stock has lost nearly 50% in 2019, making it the worst retail stock in the S&P 500. Thenation's largest department store has struggled to lure shoppers away from online retailers like Amazon and big-box stores like Target and Walmart.Once a venerable American institution, Macy’s is now among the ranks of tired department stores that have struggled to differentiate their offerings and give shoppers a reason to trek to their sprawling, mall-based stores.
