Fashion retailer Nordstrom (JWN) is going private in a $6.25 billion buyout agreement by members of the Nordstrom family and Mexican retail group El Puerto de Liverpool (ELPQF, PLV1.F)
The deal could bode well for Nordstrom from a buyer’s perspective, as the massive retail chain is still "undervalued at this price," Morningstar senior equity analyst David Swartz explains to Yahoo Finance.
Swartz joins Market Domination hosts Josh Lipton and Seana Smith to expand more on Nordstrom’s buyout.
"I do think that it's a very good deal for the buyout group," Swartz explains. "I also understand that there's a reason why Nordstrom probably should go private, and that's because investors just are not giving good valuations to department store companies right now."
The analyst goes on to say that as Nordstrom opens up more Nordstrom Rack locations, "that's really probably the future of the company. Even though Rack is smaller than the main Nordstrom stores, but Rack is probably better positioned for the type of retail market that we have today."
