Shares of Macy's and Ulta Beauty have risen 6% and approximately 1%, respectively, as they benefit from the troubles faced by rival Saks Global. Macy's Bloomingdale's is expected to gain market share due to Saks' inventory and cash flow issues. Morningstar analyst David Swartz notes that Ulta may also see increased demand for high-end cosmetics if Saks struggles. Year-to-date, Macy's is up 30% and Ulta is up 39%.
