Macy's fiscal first-quarter earnings topped Wall Street's expectations on Tuesday, as the retailer said it saw early signs of momentum in its turnaround strategy.
Macy's raised its full-year earnings expectations to reflect the first-quarter beat, along with the low end of its sales outlook.
That's more than a quarter of namesake Macy's locations.
Yet the retailer said it will invest in parts of the business that have fared better, including the roughly 350 Macy's stores that will stay open.
It plans to open more Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury locations, and smaller Macy's stores in suburban strip malls.
