Consensus stays below the market
The analyst figure leaves a clear valuation gap in the US listing. Kohl's traded at USD 21.57 on the NYSE at 3:13 p.m. EDT on October 20, 2026, placing the consensus target USD 5.40 below that price, or 25.03 percent below it.
The consensus rating was Reduce among 15 analysts, with five sell ratings, eight hold ratings, one buy rating and one strong-buy rating, according to MarketBeat on October 18, 2026.
Profit improved while sales softened
Kohl's second-quarter adjusted earnings rose from USD 0.56 per share a year earlier to USD 1.28 per share, an increase of 128.60 percent. Revenue was USD 3.52 billion, down 0.90 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to Zacks on October 13, 2026.
The earnings improvement therefore came alongside a weaker top line. Kohl's also raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings outlook to USD 1.80-2.40 per share from USD 1.00-1.60, while its adjusted operating-margin outlook moved to 3.50-4.00 percent from 2.80-3.40 percent, Zacks reported.
Stock remains below its yearly high
The NYSE price of USD 21.57 stood USD 3.65, or 14.47 percent, below the 52-week high of USD 25.22 and USD 10.19 above the 52-week low of USD 11.38 on October 20, 2026. The market capitalization was USD 2.4 billion on the same date.
Price and investor perspective
The gap between improved adjusted earnings and declining revenue gives the analyst target its central relevance. The next reported quarter will show whether margin gains can offset pressure on sales.
Kohl's was trading at EUR 19.16 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Kohl's stock.
