Kohl's Q2 Earnings: The Stock's Surge Is On Weak Grounds
KSS
Published: August 27, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Kohl's Corporation Q2 report sent the stock surging. The company managed to protect profitability surprisingly well while sales continued to decline sharply. Traffic remains a massive concern. Comparable store sales declined -4.2% in Q2, and despite a slight raise to the guidance range's lower bound, the FY2025 outlook is immensely weak. Thin margins, high debt that Kohl's refinanced at high interest rates, and low liquidity remain concerning as traffic continues to decline.
