Kohl’s announced three November holiday savings events: Black Friday Early Access (Nov. 6–8), Black Friday Week (Nov. 22–28), and Cyber Deals (Nov. 29–30). The promotions feature thousands of deals, gifts at set price points, Kohl’s Cash, and prize opportunities.
Why it matters — The events outline Kohl’s planned holiday promotions and savings offers for shoppers during November.
Kohl's announced that Stacy Taffet, Chief Growth and Marketing Officer at The Hershey Company, has joined its Board of Directors as an independent director. She brings more than 20 years of consumer-goods leadership experience, including 15 years at PepsiCo.
Why it matters — KSS watchers may note the addition of an independent director with extensive experience in consumer brands, transformation strategies, and growth initiatives.
The Zacks excerpt describes its focus on earnings estimates and estimate revisions through its Zacks Rank system, while also tracking value, growth, and momentum trends. It does not provide a specific assessment of Kohl’s valuation.
Why it matters — KSS watchers get context on the factors Zacks considers, but the excerpt does not say whether Kohl’s is undervalued.
The article says Trian Fund offered a lifeline to a struggling fast-food chain and suggests Kohl’s may be a more attractive potential buyout target, citing cheaper valuations and more than $1 billion in free cash flow.
Why it matters — Kohl’s is presented as a possible buyout candidate, which may be relevant to investors following corporate activity around KSS.
The article says Campbell’s and Dow showed warning signs before cutting their payouts, and identifies six consumer stocks in income portfolios that it says show the same signs. The excerpt does not name those stocks.
Why it matters — Kohl’s watchers may note the article’s focus on dividend-cut warning signs among consumer stocks, though the excerpt does not say whether KSS is among the six.
The 13 Wall Street analysts covering Kohl's Corp. have a median 12-month price target of $18, with estimates ranging from $9 to $42. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 13 analysts covering Kohl's Corp., 2 rate it a Buy, 6 a Hold and 5 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks Kohl's Corp. 89 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 5 Nov 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 5 Nov 2026, Kohl's Corp. ranks 89 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Accruals (92 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 13 analysts implies -26.8% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Kohl's Corp. 89 out of 100 as at 5 Nov 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering Kohl's Corp. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for KSS are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $9 to $42 over the next 12 months.
Kohl's Corp. returned +40.4% over the 12 months to 5 Nov 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
