AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Kohl's (KSS)

Kohl's Q3 profit falls as sales drop 2.8%, but company raises 2025 outlook

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Kohl's reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with net sales down 2.8% to $3.4 billion and diluted EPS of $0.07 versus $0.20 a year earlier. The company raised its full-year 2025 outlook, though it still expects net sales to fall 3.5% to 4%, and named Michael Bender permanent CEO. Shareholders face a mixed picture: weaker sales and profit in the quarter alongside a higher full-year outlook.
