Read MoreHide Full Article

Coming into today, shares of the department store operator had lost 9.08% in the past month. In that same time, the Retail-Wholesale sector lost 9.13%, while the S&P 500 lost 9.7%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Kohl's as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect Kohl's to post earnings of $0.51 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 69.09%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $4.22 billion, down 8.24% from the year-ago period.
KSS's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.19 per share and revenue of $18.18 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -56.48% and -6.44%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Kohl's. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant. Kohl's is holding a Zacks Rank of #5 (Strong Sell) right now.
Investors should also note Kohl's's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 8. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 7.4, so we one might conclude that Kohl's is trading at a premium comparatively.
We can also see that KSS currently has a PEG ratio of 1. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The Retail - Regional Department Stores was holding an average PEG ratio of 0.66 at yesterday's closing price.
The Retail - Regional Department Stores industry is part of the Retail-Wholesale sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 96, putting it in the top 39% of all 250+ industries.
