With the Nordstrom founding family's bid to take the company private at $23 per share alongside their profitable performance, I see a good opportunity for the stock to potentially gain further traction, especially if a more competitive offer emerges. I'm considering holding for a swing trade as developments unfold.

I believe that the offer from Nordstrom's founding family to take the company private at $23 per share will create upward momentum for the stock in the near term, especially since shares have already jumped 35% recently, signaling strong interest among investors.

Nordstrom has shown strong earnings and improvement in operational efficiency despite a cautious guidance. The company's focus on growing its Nordstrom Rack locations and faster order fulfillment suggests potential for continued growth. With shares up 10%, I see a bullish outlook for Nordstrom in the near term.
