>> i think looking at macy's versus kohl's is a good example because kohl's has reimagined its offer. they brought in some new merchandise categories and, you know, changed around the stores and stores look great. they're accepting amazon returns and doing a lot of untraditional things and i think that's working for them although, comped strong from last year and raised guidance to the high end of the range. so i think it's a different story there. i do think that the department store model is a little bit challenged and people are just, you know, shopping is distributed. we're shopping everywhere. looking at brands that are very broad and our influences are broad. we're no longer going to the department store as the arbiter of what's cool but there are things self-inflicted with macy's. >> thank you both. liz dunn and then the tough state of retail today. >> thanks for having me. >>> up next, our special series. investing for a lifetime we focus on people in their 60s. the final moves you need to make or the mistakes you need to avoid before retirement. that's nec on "power lunch." i

we heard from macy's we heard from target we heard from kohl's most of kohl's stores are off mall they saw their sales grow and target, the difference between what they saw and macy's is how profitable those sales were and that was part of macy's problem. they had a number of missteps in the quarter but then missed on really the value of those sales. so basically, selling an item online is more expensive for retailer than a brick and mortar to sell the same item in store even with double digit sales growth, like macy's had and kohl's had and target had but macy's is the biggest sales, you're going to have a problem with profitability and that's part of the problem with the mall >> great point, even as more sales move online, it's costly for some of the retailers. i was simply going to you if macy's is the next sears. >> that's a real reach, i think. macy's is in pretty good shape paying down debt new management has got a strategy that's going to work. i think what we need to do is just take a breath we put a forecast out 5% to 6% top line growth for the holiday season standing by it bu

still, kohl's shares are down more than 7% held down by action in macy's.arget is reporting the strongest holiday results, comp. sales 5.7%, thanks to strong traffic, and slight up tick in the average transaction. online sales at target grew 29%, with stores fulfilling three-quarters of the digital sales. toys, babies, seasonal gifts, the strongest categories for target and target is maintaining the full year adjusted earnings forecast and sales forecast. still, shares are being pulled lower more than 4% because of what we heard from macy's. master card reported for november and december, total retail sales based on actual spending were up 5%. but clearly it was not the jolliest holiday for everyone in the group. back over to you >> courtney reagan, thank you. for more, bring in former walmart u.s. ceo bill simon on the cnbc news line good morning to you. >> good morning. >> in terms of macy's in the pre-announcement, the fact that you have other retail names trading lower, including target as well, is this something that investors should read through as a

i still don't understand why target and kohl's stocks got killed, except that they reported non-blowout numbers on the same day that macy's truly disappointed i guess people expected stupendous same store sales and that didn't happen kohl's and target are being hurt by a resurgent walmart which is coming in under them in many cases. watch this walmart stock i think it's going to continue to go higher kohl's's unique brand pricing and remember we visited that, they've got the best brands for less target's got great house brands. plus let's not forget that kohl's guided up, not down why else might a big department store like macy's being having trouble attracting customers maybe it's about fun retailers are doing well, and we try to draw conclusions about what that means. i think it's about giving people a chance to have fun in a non-extravagant setting. to me the real take away is that you've got to go category by category when you do that, you realize that retail isn't a losing etf it's a sector with both winners and losers you want to try to make money by picking stocks, you need to be

emma: we heard from target, kohl's, all of them doing poorly in the market today.get interestingly beat expectations for its holiday sales. it beat last year's cop that is being dragged down as other retailers do poorly. analysts are concerned that because they didn't provide any color around earnings-per-share, the stronger than expected sales may have come at the expense of margins. , they didn'tkohl's beat last year's sales. comp sales for the season beat estimates, they tightened their eps forecast for the full year. but still, from a number of analyst notes i'm reading, is that this is perhaps as good as it gets in retail. that is what jason is saying. amanda: emma chandra, thank you. it is time for the bloomberg business flash. eddie lampert has raised his bid to keep the retailer in business. his hedge fund has made an offer of more than $5 billion to cover severance for workers and bills from suppliers. sears is on the verge of liquidation after the rejection of an earlier offer lampert. the partial u.s. government shutdown could delay two of the most antic

kohl's, nordstrom, target all under pressure so is this just a macy's problem or is this a bigger warning about a weak consumer, guy >> down 17% says it's macy's specific, but i don't think it is tim talked about it a couple of days ago department stores have not figured it out i think a lot of us have thought maybe they have gotten to the other side of the mountain clearly they haven't made it there. down 17% is a ridiculous move. the thing that makes me think maybe the consumer is still out there is the fact that on a day like today when mastercard had every reason to sell off, it was actually up half a percent i'm still in the camp that says the u.s. consumer will always spend money, but it doesn't mean they should be spending money. quite frankly, with consumer debt to gdp close to 60%, that poses a problem, especially if interest rates are going to go higher that's another conversation. >> plus with a weak stock market, the consumer actually acts weak. but let's remember, macy's is a mall play. kohl's and target have stand-alon stand-alon stand-alones >> some happened between black f
