On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Macy's (M) posted better-than-expected quarterly results — a sign the department-store operator’s strategy of focusing on its best-performing locations is starting to pay off despite weakening consumer sentiment and tariff volatility. Comparable-store sales in the fiscal quarter ended May 3 fell less than analysts had anticipated, the company reported on Wednesday, while revenue of $4.6 billion in the period also surpassed the average estimate.
- Stellantis NV (STLA) appointed its Americas head Antonio Filosa as chief executive officer, relying on an experienced company insider to turn around the automaker after former boss Carlos Tavares was forced out over slumping sales and profit. Filosa, 51, will take the helm at the maker of Jeep sport utility vehicles and Fiat cars on June 23, Stellantis said Wednesday. He was promoted to head the company’s North American operations in October as part of a broader shake-up in the waning days of Tavares’ tenure, and has been with the group for more than two decades.
- Honeywell International Inc. (HON) agreed to cooperate with Elliott Investment Management and add a member of the activist shareholder to its board as the industrial firm prepares to split into three companies. Honeywell named Marc Steinberg, a partner at Elliott, as an independent director and audit committee member, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based manufacturer said in a statement on Wednesday. The appointment is effective May 31.
