<li>Kohl's fired CEO Ashley Buchanan on May for cause</li>
<li>The dismissal came after an investigation uncovered unethical and undisclosed conflicts of interest</li>
<li>Michael Bender will be serving as interim CEO, while the company searches for a new leader</li>
</ul>
Kohl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) dismissed its newly installed CEO on May 1, citing "undisclosed conflicts of interest," the company <a href="https://investors.kohls.com/news/news-details/2025/Kohls-Announces-CEO-Transition-Process/default.aspx">said</a>.
Ashley Buchanan had been in the position for just four months before the company discovered&nbsp; allegedly unethical behavior. According to the retailer, an outside investigation found that Buchanan "violated company policies by directing the company to engage in vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest." As a result, he was terminated "for cause," a rebuke that carries serious weight in these circles.

Kohl's Dismisses CEO Over 'Undisclosed Conflicts Of Interest'

Telsey analyst Dana Telsey lowered the price forecast for Kohl&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) from $10 to $9, while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KSS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">retaining a Market Perform rating</a>.
On Thursday, the company announced the termination of CEO&nbsp;Ashley Buchanan for cause and appointed Board Chair&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45138986/kohls-kss-stock-rises-on-ceo-shakeup-preliminary-q1-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Bender</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45138986/kohls-kss-stock-rises-on-ceo-shakeup-preliminary-q1-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener"> as Interim CEO</a>.
Also, Kohl&#8217;s issued&nbsp;preliminary first-quarter 2025 results, expecting comparable sales to decline between 4.3% and 4.0%, operating income between $40 million and $45 million, and diluted EPS of a loss of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">20 cents to a loss of 24 cents</a>.
The analyst writes that the CEO position at Kohl&#8217;s appears to have been difficult to maintain since Michelle Gass&#8217;s departure in late 2022.

The retailer has faced headwinds, experiencing market share losses over the last several years, even with positive developments like the introduction of Sephora shop-in-shops and Babies&#8221;R&#8221;Us, adds the analyst.
Telsey writes that Kohl&#8217;s has lost ground to off-price retailers, which offer a straightforward value proposition, and e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, due to their convenience and rapid delivery.
The analyst further says that despite the leadership change, Kohl&#8217;s anticipates continuing Buchanan&#8217;s strategies (curated assortment, value/quality, frictionless experience) under the interim CEO.
New leadership will likely focus on stabilization, but consumer recovery will take time, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust DJ Global Select Dividend (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FGD#NYSE">FGD</a>) and Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Revenue ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RWJ#NYSE">RWJ</a>).
