The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3.8 billion, which indicates a 5.3% decrease from the year-ago quarter's actual. The consensus mark for quarterly earnings moved down by a penny in the last seven days to 27 cents per share, indicating a decline of 49.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. KSS has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 145.3%, on average.

Things to Know About KSS’ Upcoming Results
Kohl's continues to face significant challenges due to a tough macroeconomic environment. The company is experiencing pressure from cautious consumer spending, with customers becoming more selective, leading to lower sales despite a rise in transaction frequency. Underlying inflation is affecting purchasing power, especially among middle-income shoppers.
In addition, the ongoing weakness in Kohl’s digital business poses a threat to its performance. The persistence of these factors poses a threat to Kohl’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter, as the company navigates persistent pressures in the current retail environment.
Despite facing challenges, Kohl’s is benefiting from its successful partnership with Sephora. The company has also been prioritizing the growth of underdeveloped categories such as home décor, gifting and impulse items. The continuation of these positive trends is likely to have provided some respite in the fiscal third quarter.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Kohl's this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
