What are Wall Street analysts saying about Kohl's stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Kohl's stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Kohl’s, which outpaced the industry in three months, has been riding on sturdy comps trend for six straight quarters. In fourth-quarter fiscal 2019, comps continued to gain from robust endeavors to boost store and online traffic. Notably, comps increased 1%, backed by a solid holiday season show, with Men's and Children’s businesses being strong. Results also benefited from sturdy digital sales, which surged at a double-digit rate. Additionally, Kohl’s inventory reduction efforts continued to boost gross margin in the quarter, which marked the company’s seventh and fifth consecutive top- and bottom-line beats, respectively. Encouragingly, the upbeat results along with effective merchandising and focus on driving traffic bode well for the company. However, the company anticipates SG&A expenses to rise 1-2% in fiscal 2019. Moreover, changing consumer preferences and stiff competition in the retail space are threats." (3/12/2019)
