We view the shares as attractive at current levels and believe the retailer won’t cut its current annual dividend of $1.51, which is yielding 9.3%. As we forecast Macy’s 2019 free cash flow at more than $1 billion, we think its annual dividend cost of less than $500 million is manageable.

This approach does not lend itself to long-term planning, daily stress management or reflection on the question, “Am I doing the right things to create success in my business?”
