Macy’s (NYSE:M) Executive Vice President and Chief HR Officer, Danielle L. Kirgan, completed an open-market sale of 15,415 shares of the retailer’s common stock on March 27, 2026, generating approximately $276,125. The sale prices reported ranged from $17.8350 to $18.0500 per share.
The stock sale accompanies a cluster of related filings and awards disclosed in a Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On March 26, 2026, the Form 4 shows Kirgan acquired 46,789 shares of common stock with a stated value of $0. That same day she transferred 2,114 shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations; those 2,114 shares were recorded with a total value of $39,087 and an execution price of $18.49.
Also on March 26, 2026, Kirgan received a grant of 48,674 restricted stock units (RSUs). The RSUs vest in four equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, establishing a multi-year schedule for future equity recognition.

These insider actions come in the wake of Macy’s fourth-quarter 2025 financial report, in which the company posted an adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.67 versus an analyst consensus of $1.56. Revenue for the quarter was $7.6 billion, exceeding projected revenue of $7.46 billion.
Market reactions to those results were mixed and prompted several analyst target adjustments. TD Cowen reduced its price objective to $20 from $21 while maintaining a Hold rating, citing margin concerns. Telsey lowered its target to $20 from $25 and retained a Market Perform rating, noting macro uncertainty. Evercore ISI trimmed its target to $19 from $21, staying with an In Line rating and pointing to valuation issues. Jefferies offered a contrasting view by reaffirming a Buy rating with a $22 price target following the Q4 beat.
Macy’s initial fiscal 2026 guidance came in below Wall Street estimates. The company attributed that guidance gap in part to accounting changes and planned store closures, per the disclosures accompanying its results.
Taken together, the filings show a combination of immediate cash-generating sales, tax-related dispositions, and longer-term equity incentives for a senior executive, occurring alongside an earnings beat, revenue outperformance and cautious forward guidance that has produced mixed analyst responses.
