Nordstrom on Tuesday beat Wall Street's quarterly sales expectations, as revenue grew about 4% year over year from shoppers buying clothing, shoes and activewear at both the company's namesake department store and its off-price chain.
Compared with the second quarter, women's apparel, shoes and men's apparel sales in the fiscal third quarter also grew sequentially.
Comparable sales increased 4% across Nordstrom's two brands, its namesake and its off-price chain, Nordstrom Rack.
That easily topped analysts' expectations for 0.7% gains in comparable sales, according to StreetAccount.
Nordstrom's sales growth, while modest, is notable at a time when sales of discretionary merchandise and the luxury category have been under pressure.
