Read MoreHide Full Article
Kohl's (KSS - Free Report) closed at $59.20 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.87% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's 0.09% gain on the day. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 0.16%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.24%.
Heading into today, shares of the department store operator had gained 20.04% over the past month, outpacing the Retail-Wholesale sector's loss of 2.81% and the S&P 500's loss of 4.02% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Kohl's as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be March 1, 2022. In that report, analysts expect Kohl's to post earnings of $2.13 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 4.05%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $6.86 billion, up 11.68% from the year-ago period.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Kohl's. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
