The latest update is out from Kohl’s ( (KSS) ).

On March 10, 2026, Kohl’s reported fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2025 results for the period ended January 31, 2026, showing net sales declines of 3.9% in the quarter and 4.0% for the year, with comparable sales down 2.8% and 3.1%, respectively, but improved profitability as gross margin expanded and operating income rose to $212 million in Q4 and $624 million for the year. The company generated significantly higher operating cash flow, reduced reliance on its revolving credit facility, refinanced portions of its debt stack, and, despite softer-than-expected Q4 topline performance, underscored a balance-sheet-strengthening strategy while setting a cautious 2026 outlook calling for flat to slightly lower sales, modest adjusted operating margins, and disciplined capital spending, alongside a previously declared quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share payable April 1, 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (KSS) stock is a Hold with a $15.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kohl’s stock, see the KSS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on KSS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KSS is a Neutral.

Overall score reflects strong cash-flow generation and improved leverage plus supportive valuation (low P/E and ~3.25% yield), offset by weak technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD) and an earnings outlook that still calls for declining sales despite margin/expense improvement efforts.
