Although Macy's sees Q2 sales down sequentially, the company now sees less of a difference than previously thought. On the Q1 earnings call the CFO said, "I would add though that while we still expect Q2 sales to fall below that in Q1, we now expect the spread between the first and second quarters to be by less than the 200-300 basis points we had mentioned in February. We believe we will get a benefit in the second quarter as the weather finally begins to get warmer." |
