Kohl's shares are trading higher after the company provided Q1 guidance and announced the termination of its CEO.

Kohl&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) shares climbed 7.09% to $7.71 on Thursday after the company announced the termination of CEO Ashley Buchanan for cause and appointed Board Chair Michael Bender as Interim CEO.
What To Know: The board, following an investigation overseen by its Audit Committee, concluded Buchanan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45134642/kohls-announces-ceo-transition-process">violated company policies</a> by engaging in vendor deals involving undisclosed conflicts of interest. The termination is not tied to company performance or financial reporting.
Bender, a board member since 2019 and former CEO of Eyemart Express, brings over 30 years of leadership experience at firms including Walmart, L Brands, and PepsiCo. He will remain on the board but step down from committee roles and his position as Chair. The board plans to initiate a search for a permanent CEO.
Separately, Kohl's issued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45134642/kohls-announces-ceo-transition-process">preliminary first-quarter 2025 results</a>, 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 20 cents to a loss of 24 cents.
Full results will be released on May 29. Despite soft guidance, the leadership change and Bender's appointment were met with investor optimism.

Kohl's Corporation ("Kohl's" or the "Company") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) today announced that the Kohl's Board of Directors (the "Board") has appointed Michael Bender as Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately.

In accordance with the terms of this employment contract, Mr. Buchanan is no longer a member of the Board, and the Company has withdrawn his nomination for election as a Director at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The Board will initiate a search to identify a permanent CEO and retain a leading search firm to assist with this process.

Kohl's Terminates CEO Ashley Buchanan for Cause; Appoints Michael Bender As Interim CEO, Effective Immediately

Barclays analyst Paul Kearney on Monday initiated coverage on the shares of Gildan Activewear Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIL#NYSE">GIL</a>) and announced a price forecast of $51.
The analyst initiated coverage on Macy&#8217;s Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) and Columbia Sportswear Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) with an Equal Weight rating and announced a price forecast of $12 and $64, respectively.
Kearney also initiated coverage on the shares of Carter&#8217;s Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRI#NYSE">CRI</a>) and Kohls Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) with an Underweight rating and announced a price forecast of $25 and $4, respectively.
While the analyst acknowledges the strength of the U.S. consumer, he remains cautious in the short term due to market turbulence and policy uncertainties impacting consumer and business sentiment.

The analyst highlights apparel as one of the sectors most vulnerable to tariff policy shifts. Considering the deflationary tendencies of apparel, along with consumer challenges and intense competition, Kearney anticipates a decline in unit sales during the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026.
Although inventory management among department stores and retailers has normalized throughout 2024, the analyst warns that supply chain risks and weakening consumer demand could prompt retailers to adopt a conservative buying strategy in the second half of 2025.
The analyst expects retailers to prioritize key brands that drive traffic, manage costs effectively and offer better value to shoppers.
Kearney prefers companies that are expanding their direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses and strengthening brand positioning to support price increases such as Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), Kontoor Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTB#NYSE">KTB</a>), and Levi Strauss &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>).
Companies that maintain diversified geographic exposure to help mitigate pricing challenges internationally include Ralph Lauren, Levi and PVH Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>).
Companies that demonstrate operational advantages in sourcing to better handle tariff risks with the likes of Gildan, Kontoor Brands and offer strong free cash flow to equity, providing flexibility to return capital to shareholders, such as Gildan and PVH).

What 16 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Kohl's

Barclays analyst Paul Kearney initiates coverage on Kohl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) with a Underweight rating and announces Price Target of $4.

Barclays Initiates Coverage On Kohl's with Underweight Rating, Announces Price Target of $4

For adults who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, a movie being made about a former toy store could become one of their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42750888/top-anticipated-2025-movies-for-big-screen-success-and-stocks-investors-should-watch">most anticipated movies</a> to watch in theaters.
What Happened: Former toy retailer Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us is getting the movie treatment with a live-action film inspired by "Night at the Museum."
The "Night at the Museum" film franchise saw characters from the past come to life after the museum closed, which means we could be getting a live-action film of toys coming to life after the toy store closed, or in a way a live-action "Toy Story" movie.
Story Kitchen and Toys "R" Us Studios are teaming up on the film efforts, according to a Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/toys-r-us-live-action-movie-story-kitchen-1236375189/">report</a>.
"Toys ‘R' Us is a cultural touchstone that continues impacting the child in all of us today," Story Kitchen co-founders Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg said. "As ‘80s kids who considered Toys ‘R' Us one of the most magical places on Earth, we're honored to partner to create a film that will capture the spirit of adventure, creativity and nostalgia that Toys ‘R' Us represents."
The modern film is described as being similar to "Night at the Museum" along with films like "Back to the Future and "Big." Movies like "Jumanji" and "Barbie," which also brought toys to the big screen, are also used in the description of the future film.
"It will be as boundless as play itself, evoking the electric sense of wonder that is the essence of Toys ‘R' Us," Toys &#8220;R&#8221; Us Studios President Kim Miller Olko said.
Story Kitchen is well known for its work on video game adaptations for TV and film including "Sonic the Hedgehog." The studio is also working on the "Tomb Raider" franchise for Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios project and "Toejam &amp; Earl" for Amazon MGM Studios.

Why It's Important: No film partner was named for the Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us film. Variety reports that Story Kitchen has a first-look TV deal with Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and a first-look deal with DreamWorks Animation, which is a Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) unit, for animated film.
As a live-action film, Story Kitchen could look to partner with one of its current partners or shop around depending on demand for the film rights. &nbsp;
Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us was founded in 1957 and was one of the largest toy retailers in the U.S. and world until Walmart sought to take its title for toy shopping in the early 1990s. Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us declared bankruptcy in 2017.
Now owned by WHP Global, Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us stores within stores <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/08/22577648/macys-brings-back-toys-r-us-brand-to-us-market">can be found</a> inside Macy's Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) locations. The retailer's baby segment Babies &#8216;R&#8217; Us was also brought back to life through a partnership with Kohl's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) in 2024.
The film could draw interest in more retail partnerships in the future.

Dividends

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Consumer Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Kohl's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.98% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 49.00 million shares sold short, which is 61.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.72 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Kohl's Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743796832_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Kohl's has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Kohl's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kohl's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.40%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

The S&amp;P 500 fell nearly 4%, poised for its worst session since September 2022, and sank to a seven-month low. Small caps took the brunt of the sell-off, with the Russell 2000 plunging over 5% and officially entering a bear market, now down more than 20% from its 2024 peak.
Fears of retaliatory action from key U.S. trading partners dragged every major sector into the red, except for defensive plays like consumer staples and utilities.
Consumer discretionary stocks were slammed. Apparel names posted double-digit losses: Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Lululemon Athletica Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRMN#NYSE">GRMN</a>) each dropped between 10% and 16%.
Cruise lines were also hit hard: Norwegian Cruise Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) sank 13%, Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) fell 10%, and Royal Caribbean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) slid 9%.
Bond markets saw a mild flight to safety. Treasury yields edged lower, yet the U.S. dollar weakened 1.6%, with the DXY index heading for its worst day since November 2022.
Commodities weren't spared. Oil prices nosedived on fears of a global slowdown, worsened by OPEC+'s surprise move to raise output. West Texas Intermediate crude plunged 7.5%, slipping below $70 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed relative resilience in the carnage, dipping just 1% and holding above $81,600.

Wall Street Wipes Out $2 Trillion, Apple Eyes Worst Day Since COVID-19 Pandemic, Oil Plummets: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Shares of Kohl's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) tanked on Thursday after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44514918/whats-going-on-with-kohls-corporation-stock-today">announced plans to close stores</a>.
A meeting with the company's new CEO Ashley Buchanan highlighted management's turnaround plan that will be put in place this year, according to Telsey Advisory Group.
The Kohl's Analyst: Analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Dana Telsey</a> maintained a Market Perform rating and price target of $10.
The Kohl's Thesis: The company's new CEO "brings relevant retail experience" from his tenure with Blackstone Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) Michaels Companies and Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Telsey said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Mr. Buchanan played a key role in improving profitability, growing digital sales and simplifying the merchandising strategy at Michaels Companies, she added.
For Kohl's, the CEO identified six initiatives that would be implemented this year that are expected to deliver results over the next 18 months, the analyst stated.
"New merchandising strategy focuses on offering a more balanced, curated assortment that addresses the needs of all customers, both new and existing," she wrote.
Kohl's pricing strategy focuses on driving value through increased promotions, while "reducing the complexity of its offers," Telsey said.
