<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Kohl's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kohl's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.40%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Wall Street saw a staggering $2 trillion in market cap erased, with the U.S.&#8217;s biggest 10 companies shedding $1 trillion alone.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) plunged 8.7%, staring down its worst day since March 2020 and wiping out nearly $300 billion in value.

The S&amp;P 500 fell nearly 4%, poised for its worst session since September 2022, and sank to a seven-month low. Small caps took the brunt of the sell-off, with the Russell 2000 plunging over 5% and officially entering a bear market, now down more than 20% from its 2024 peak.
Fears of retaliatory action from key U.S. trading partners dragged every major sector into the red, except for defensive plays like consumer staples and utilities.
Consumer discretionary stocks were slammed. Apparel names posted double-digit losses: Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Lululemon Athletica Inc.

Cruise lines were also hit hard: Norwegian Cruise Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) sank 13%, Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) fell 10%, and Royal Caribbean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) slid 9%.
Bond markets saw a mild flight to safety. Treasury yields edged lower, yet the U.S. dollar weakened 1.6%, with the DXY index heading for its worst day since November 2022.
Commodities weren't spared. Oil prices nosedived on fears of a global slowdown, worsened by OPEC+'s surprise move to raise output. West Texas Intermediate crude plunged 7.5%, slipping below $70 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed relative resilience in the carnage, dipping just 1% and holding above $81,600.

Shares of Kohl's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) tanked on Thursday after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44514918/whats-going-on-with-kohls-corporation-stock-today">announced plans to close stores</a>.
A meeting with the company's new CEO Ashley Buchanan highlighted management's turnaround plan that will be put in place this year, according to Telsey Advisory Group.
The Kohl's Analyst: Analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Dana Telsey</a> maintained a Market Perform rating and price target of $10.
The Kohl's Thesis: The company's new CEO "brings relevant retail experience" from his tenure with Blackstone Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) Michaels Companies and Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Telsey said in the note.

Mr. Buchanan played a key role in improving profitability, growing digital sales and simplifying the merchandising strategy at Michaels Companies, she added.
For Kohl's, the CEO identified six initiatives that would be implemented this year that are expected to deliver results over the next 18 months, the analyst stated.
"New merchandising strategy focuses on offering a more balanced, curated assortment that addresses the needs of all customers, both new and existing," she wrote.
Kohl's pricing strategy focuses on driving value through increased promotions, while "reducing the complexity of its offers," Telsey said.
"We were encouraged by management&#8217;s grasp of the challenges it faces and the strategies it has laid out thus far to address them," she wrote.
KSS Price Action: Shares of Kohl's had declined by 25.41% to $6.42 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Decoding Kohl's's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Americans have been dealing with the rising costs of housing, groceries and transportation for years. A slew of new data suggests the formerly resilient U.S. consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44420778/us-consumers-face-risks-as-rising-cost-of-living-job-market-cracks-threaten-spending-bank-of-america-warns">may be starting to crack. </a>
What To Know: The latest <a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/structured-finance/abs/auto-indices">report from</a> Fitch Ratings showed a growing number of people are unable to keep up with their car loan payments with 6.6% of subprime auto borrowers more than 60 days behind, marking the highest level since the data began being tracked in 1994. 
Additionally, a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York revealed <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/research/2025/20250213">the number</a> of auto loans moving into serious delinquency — defined as being 90 days or more past due — increased to 3%, marking the highest level since 2010.

Another indicator is the Consumer Confidence Board Consumer Confidence Index <a href="https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence">which fell</a> sharply by seven points in February, indicating pessimism about current and future economic conditions. 
"In February, consumer confidence registered the largest monthly decline since August 2021," said Stephanie Guichard, senior economist, Global Indicators at The Conference Board. 
"This is the third consecutive month-on-month decline, bringing the Index to the bottom of the range that has prevailed since 2022, Guichard added. 
American households are running out of emergency funds which could be contributing to the bleaker financial outlooks. Data from the Federal Reserve shows that households' ability to come up with $2,000 for an emergency expense within the next month is at the lowest level since the survey started in 2015.
"Taking into account that the CPI level today is 35% higher than in 2015, the situation is even worse," said Dr. Torsten Slok, chief economist for Apollo Global Management.&nbsp;
What Else: Retailers are reporting demand is slowing, with Kohl's Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) CEO Ashley Buchanan saying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44262764/kohls-ceo-warns-of-pretty-challenging-environment-for-consumers-expects-value-seeking-to-grow-over-next-3-months">last week</a> that customers making less than $100,000 are now feeling squeezed. 
Many Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) customers "only have enough money for the basic essentials," said CEO Todd Vasos. Meanwhile, sales among higher-income shoppers have picked up as bargain-hunting intensifies. 
Stocks To Watch: Major companies in the retail, automotive and hospitality sectors should be monitored as the health of the U.S. consumer begins to show signs of weakness.&nbsp;
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) is an ETF focused on consumer discretionary stocks with Amazon.com, Inc.

Are US Consumers Starting To Crack? Pessimism, Loan Defaults, Bargain-Hunting Rise

Kohl's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) shares have dropped by around 30% to $8.33 in March following a disappointing earnings report that revealed a 9.4% drop in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44246040/kohls-anticipates-sales-and-profit-dip-in-2025-slashes-dividend-by-75-stock-tanks">fourth-quarter net sales</a>. The company also issued a cautious outlook, forecasting a 4-6% decline in comparable sales for fiscal year 2025.
What Happened: Kohl&#8217;s shares tumbled last week after reporting fourth-quarter FY24 revenue of $5.175 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44242740/kohls-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fiscal-2024-financial-results">down 9.4% from the previous year</a>. 
Despite slightly exceeding Wall Street's estimate of $5.145 billion, comparable sales fell 6.7%, reflecting weaker consumer demand. Operating income took a significant hit, declining from $299 million in the prior year to $126 million.

While the retailer managed a 49-basis-point improvement in gross margin to 32.9%, operating margin dropped to just 2.3%, highlighting growing profitability concerns. 
Dividend Cut and Future Outlook: Adding to investor worries, Kohl's announced a cut to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44283900/whats-going-on-with-kohls-stock-wednesday">quarterly dividend</a>, slashing it from 50 cents per share to 12.5 cents. The company ended the quarter with $134 million in cash and $2.9 billion in inventory, marking a 2% year-over-year increase.
Looking ahead, Kohl's issued a disappointing FY25 forecast, projecting a 5%-7% sales decline and an EPS range of 10 cents to 60 cents, far below Wall Street's consensus of $1.25.
Analyst Sentiment: Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44281015/kohls-smashes-q4-earnings-expectations-analyst-cuts-forecast-on-disappointing-guidance-turnaround-underway">remain skeptical</a> about Kohl's turnaround strategy, citing ongoing challenges in stabilizing the business amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. 
Persistent inflationary pressures, shifting consumer spending habits and heightened retail competition continue to weigh on the company's growth prospects.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KSS Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Kohl&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, KSS has a 52-week high of $29.60 and a 52-week low of $7.96.

Spotlight on Kohl's: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Citigroup analyst Paul Lejuez maintains Kohl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $11 to $8.

The University of Michigan&#8217;s March consumer confidence survey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44331170/us-consumer-confidence-plunges-as-inflation-fears-hit-highest-level-since-1993">showed a rapid decrease </a>in consumer confidence amid historically high inflation expectations. Economists say this could be a bad omen for the United States economy.
The Report: The report, released Friday, showed an 11% month-over-month drop and a 22% decline from December 2024. Meanwhile, inflation expectations jumped from 4.3% in February to 4.9% in March, the highest reading since November 2022.
The survey showed some signs of political polarization, though Republicans, Democrats and Independents all reported declines in their economic expectations.

Economist Reactions: Experts didn&#8217;t sugarcoat the results of the survey, calling them a serious warning sign for the U.S. economy.
"This is an horrific report," Samuel Tombs, chief U.S. economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/business/inflation-consumer-sentiment.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare">told</a> the New York Times. "Elevated economic policy uncertainty and the sharp drop in stock prices have greatly undermined consumers' confidence."
Stanford professor Neale Mahoney <a href="https://x.com/nealemahoney/status/1900551798827458677">called</a> stagflation expectations &#8220;scary&#8221; in a post on X.
Diane Swonk, chief economist for KPMG, had similar worries.
&#8220;Sadly, the consumer sentiment figures have a stagflation vibe, which poses a challenge to the Federal Reserve. The current tariffs we saw are so large and staggered that they hit both margins and prices,&#8221; Swonk <a href="https://x.com/DianeSwonk/status/1900561364571041848">posted</a> on X.
Bill Adams, Chief Economist for Comerica Bank, similarly expressed concern about whether high inflation expectations would keep the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates.
&#8220;This is bad news. People who fear losing jobs pull back on discretionary spending,&#8221; Adams said Friday. &#8220;Don't hold your breath for the Fed to ride to the rescue if spending falls as inflation expectations are soaring.&#8221;
Retailer Warns Pressure: On Tuesday, Kohl&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) warned of a challenging outlook for fiscal 2025, expecting sales to decline by 5% to 7%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44262764/kohls-ceo-warns-of-pretty-challenging-environment-for-consumers-expects-value-seeking-to-grow-over-next-3-months">citing &#8220;constrained&#8221; shoppers</a>. 
CEO Ashley Buchanan said much of Kohl&#8217;s customer base is under pressure from rising costs in rent, housing, and groceries, noting, &#8220;If you&#8217;re making less than 50 [thousand], that consumer is pretty constrained from a discretionary standpoint,&#8221; and adding that value-seeking behavior will &#8220;probably expand… across income cohorts over the next probably three or four months.&#8221;

The company expects 2025 comparable sales to decrease 4-6%.

UBS Maintains Sell on Kohl's, Lowers Price Target to $5

Kohl&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday. The stock may be moving on continued weakness after the company reported fourth-quarter financial results and issued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44262764">guidance on Tuesday</a>.
What To Know: Kohl&#8217;s issued guidance for fiscal-year 2025, projecting a 5% to 7% decline in net sales and a 4% to 6% drop in comparable sales. The company cited &#8220;constrained&#8221; shoppers as one reason for the anticipated drop in net sales. 
If you&#8217;re making less than 50 [thousand], that consumer is pretty constrained from a discretionary standpoint. If you&#8217;re making less than 100 [thousand], it&#8217;s also pretty challenging. And you see that very clearly in numbers,&#8221;&nbsp;said Kohl&#8217;s CEO Ashley Buchanan.
The CEO also noted that consumers are increasingly seeking better value in their purchases.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43736972/us-retail-sales-fall-more-than-expected-raise-growth-concerns">Commerce Department data</a>, retail sales fell 0.9% across the U.S. in January, missing economist expectations of a 0.2% decline. A Bureau of Labor Statistics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">report indicates inflation</a> eased in February, though rising shelter costs may continue to pressure low-income consumers.
Analyst Changes: Following the earnings report, multiple analysts cut their price targets.

<li>Baird analyst Mark Altschwager maintained a Neutral rating on Kohl&#8217;s and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$18&nbsp;to&nbsp;$11.</li>

What's Going On With Kohl's Stock Wednesday?

Shares of Kohls Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) tanked in early trading on Wednesday, after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44246040/kohls-anticipates-sales-and-profit-dip-in-2025-slashes-dividend-by-75-stock-tanks">reported its fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company controlled its SG&amp;A expenses to report a "solid" earnings beat, despite a significant gross margin miss, according to Telsey Advisory Group.
The Kohls Thesis: Analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Dana Telsey</a> maintained a Market Perform rating, while cutting the price target from $13 to $10.
The Kohls Thesis: Despite the earnings beat, the company announced its 2025 outlook significantly below "the market&#8217;s prior (already-modest) expectations," Telsey said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The CEO indicated strategic initiatives will be undertaken over the next few quarters and that the turnaround will take time to complete, as Kohls is "a long lead-time business," she added.
"New leadership will look to bring stabilization to the business following several years of volatile performance, but visibility to a timeline to a turnaround to better profitability is challenging in our view, particularly against an increasingly uncertain macro backdrop," the analyst wrote.
Even after improvements in the assortment, value proposition and customer experience, it will take time for Kohls to win back consumers, she further stated.
KSS Price Action: Shares of Kohls had declined by 7.38% to $8.48 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
