Zacks Investment Research highlighted Kohl's Corp. (KSS) among five value stocks with attractively low EV-to-EBITDA ratios and strong earnings outlooks. The list includes KSS along with LCUT, MATV, UGP, and CLDT.
Why it matters — KSS watchers may view the company's inclusion on this list as favorable valuation and earnings-attractiveness recognition.
Market Watch reports that jewelry sales are rising, driven by Gen Z's interest in "little treats" and high demand for chunky gold among affluent buyers. A Kohl's executive noted that fine jewelry "continues to trend incredibly well" with the company's customers.
Why it matters — Since Kohl's has called out fine jewelry as a strong product category for its customers, sustained demand there signals a healthy sales area for the retailer.
Macy's shares fell 5% to $20.45 in early Thursday trading despite a fiscal second-quarter beat and a raised full-year outlook delivered before the market opened. In contrast, Kohl's and TJX barely moved.
Why it matters — A KSS watcher would care because Kohl's shares were essentially unchanged even as a major department-store peer slid sharply in response to its own earnings news, offering context on how the market is treating the broader retail group.
Money rotated back into beaten-down department store stocks on Wednesday morning, with Kohl's rallying 7%. Macy's rose 3% while Abercrombie & Fitch slipped, with buyers paying up for names they had discounted recently.
Why it matters — A KSS watcher would care because it signals renewed investor demand for battered department store shares, including Kohl's, after a period of selling pressure.
Zacks Investment Research highlights Kohl's (KSS) among five stocks that stand out for their attractive EV-to-EBITDA ratios and strong earnings outlook, alongside PARR, AMKR, AVT and ECVT.
Why it matters — The piece positions KSS as attractively valued with a favorable earnings outlook, which could matter to investors monitoring its fundamentals.
The 14 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 14 analysts covering Kohl's Corp., 2 rate it a Buy, 7 a Hold and 5 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks Kohl's Corp. 90 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 18 Sept 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 18 Sept 2026, Kohl's Corp. ranks 90 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 Value (94 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 14 analysts implies +8.8% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Kohl's Corp. 90 out of 100 as at 18 Sept 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 -1.9% over the 12 months to 18 Sept 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
