Saks Global, the parent of Saks Fifth Avenue, is in talks to sell a 49% stake in luxury retailer Bergdorf Goodman for about $1 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

At least four bidders are in the running, including Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and strategic investors, with a deal possible early next year, the report added.

Saks Global was created in July 2024 by Hudson’s Bay Company after its $2.65 billion acquisition of Neiman Marcus, combining Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and other luxury retail and real estate assets.
