Q118 Snap - Good start to the year

Macy's reported adj Q118 EPS of $0.48 vs consensus $0.37. Ex asset sale gains (though consensus would have included some estimate of gains) and impairments, EPS would have still beat at $0.42. The comp was a strong 4.2% (1.7% adjusting for an event timing shift) vs consensus 0.9%. Gross margins came in ahead, inventories are very well controlled - a very good start to the year. FY guidance raised on comp and EPS.
