Should You Scoop Up Shares of Nordstrom on its Post Earnings Dip?
The shares of omnichannel fashion retailer Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) declined nearly 30% in price after the company reported weaker-than-expected third-quarter earnings. But can the stock rebound based on the company’s numerous strategic collaborations? Let’s find out.Leading fashion retailer Nordstrom, Inc. (JWN) operates 100 full-line stores and 248 Nordstrom Rack locations in 40 U.S. states and Canada, two clearance stores, five Nordstrom Local service hubs, and online stores.

Moreover, the stock has lost 29.8% since the company reported weaker-than-expected third-quarter earnings on November 23.
JWN’s total revenues came in at $3.64 billion for its fiscal third quarter ended October 30, 2021, up 17.7% year-over-year.
