Top Department Store Retail Head-to-Head Comparisons
Kohls vs Macys
Macy's is bigger than Kohl's on every major financial measure: $22.621 billion of fiscal 2025 revenue versus Kohl's $15.527 billion, $642 million of net income versus $272 million, and a market capitalization of roughly $5.75 billion versus about $2.0 billion as of September 2026. Both chains are mid-turnaround: Macy's comparable sales rose 2.7% in its fiscal second quarter of 2026, a fifth straight quarter of growth, while Kohl's comparable sales fell 0.9% in the quarter ended August 1, 2026. Macy's CEO is Tony Spring, in the role since February 2024; Kohl's CEO is Michael Bender, permanent since November 2025.
Macys vs Nordstrom
Macy's is the larger company by revenue: it reported $22.621 billion in total revenue for fiscal 2025 (year ended January 31, 2026), versus Nordstrom's $15.016 billion for fiscal 2024 (year ended February 1, 2025), the last year Nordstrom reported results as a public company. Macy's also posted higher net income, $642 million against Nordstrom's $294 million. Nordstrom is no longer publicly traded; since May 20, 2025 it has been privately owned 50.1% by the Nordstrom family and 49.9% by El Puerto de Liverpool, so it has no stock price or market cap to set against Macy's roughly $5.75 billion valuation.
Nordstrom vs Ross Stores
Ross Stores is both bigger and far more profitable than Nordstrom. Ross reported $22.75 billion in revenue and $2.15 billion in net income for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, a 9.4% net margin, while Nordstrom's last public fiscal year (ended February 1, 2025) showed $15.02 billion in total revenue and just $294 million in net earnings, about a 2.0% margin. Ross trades publicly on Nasdaq (ROST) with a market capitalization of about $73.7 billion as of September 11, 2026, while Nordstrom has been privately held by the Nordstrom family and El Puerto de Liverpool since May 2025 and no longer discloses a market value.

Editorial Methodology
We use company filings, annual reports, company statements and press reports, with primary sources preferred where available. Each financial row shows its recorded source. Full-year figures are separated from annualized run-rates, partial periods and forecasts; unaudited figures carry a label. Source detail varies by company, so check the linked material when the reporting basis matters.
Public companies may provide filings and annual reports. Private-company figures may come from statements or press coverage. A missing figure stays missing, and a source link should identify where its number came from.
We organize company records and review claims for strategic context, source quality and clarity. Pages show a review date where one is recorded.
Technical checks flag inconsistent figures and missing links. Editorial review of the underlying source remains necessary for claims those checks cannot verify.
