Kohl's: The Bull Case
KSS
Published: July 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Kohl's is deeply undervalued due to massive real estate holdings, with $5-$10 billion in assets largely unrecognized by the market.

Published: June 02, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Kohl's is trading at a record discount to tangible book value, with deep value metrics and a 20-25% free cash flow yield. Bearish positioning in the stock is at historic highs and borrow rates are spiking. Any positive operating news could trigger a powerful short squeeze. While stock trading and business risks remain, if the U.S. consumer economy holds and a new catalyst emerges, KSS could rebound sharply toward an initial $15-20 share target.
