Read MoreHide Full Article

Macy’s, Inc. (M - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 11% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $28.94 to $32.19 in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company reported solid first-quarter fiscal 2018 results. Also, management raised its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2018.

The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of three increases and one decrease over the past month, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Macy’s currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while its Earnings ESP is negative.

A better-ranked stock in the Retail - Regional Department Stores industry is Kohl's Corporation (KSS - Free Report) , which currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
 
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
