Kohl’s Corporation (KSS - Free Report) , a department store chain that operates specialty department stores and an e-commerce site in the United States, delivered third-quarter fiscal 2017 adjusted earnings of 70 cents per share, declined nearly 13% year over year and lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 72 cents per share.
Following the third quarter, the company narrowed its adjusted earnings view for fiscal 2017. It now anticipates adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.60-$3.80, compared to $3.50-$3.80 per share guided earlier.

Revenue: Kohl’s generated total revenue of $4,332 million that rose 0.1% year over year, and topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,296 million. The company’s comparable store sales reflected strong traffic momentum witnessed in the first half of fiscal 2017 and improved 0.1%, as against a decline of 0.4% in the preceding quarter and 1.7% drop in the year-ago quarter. Comps gained from a solid back-to-school season, offset by disruptions from hurricanes and unseasonable weather in middle of the quarter.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +18.8% from 2016 - Q1 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +157.0%, +128.0%, +97.8%, +94.7%, and +90.2% respectively.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - Q1 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 11X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
