Company News
American Eagle and Kohl's shares jumped 4.5% following President Trump's announcement of a two-week suspension of attacks on Iran, which triggered a 17% drop in crude oil prices. The decline in oil prices eases inflationary pressures on retailers by reducing freight costs and fuel surcharges. Lower shipping expenses allow retailers to maintain better margins whilst potentially passing savings to customers. Reduced risks in the Strait of Hormuz also diminish inventory shortage concerns for goods sourced from the region. Delta's record quarterly sales further bolstered optimism, suggesting discretionary spending remains strong despite geopolitical headwinds. The combination of falling oil prices and robust consumer spending signals a potential turning point for consumer confidence and relief from recent inflationary pressures weighing on the retail sector.
Kohl's does not plan to close additional stores in 2026, despite shuttering 27 locations in early 2025. CEO Michael Bender said roughly 1,150 stores are "well over 90%" profitable during the company's 10 March earnings call. The retailer will focus on optimising existing locations rather than expanding or contracting its footprint. Kohl's plans to address consumer price sensitivity by offering more competitive pricing and expanding proprietary brands including Jumping Beans, FLX and Tek Gear. The company reported $125 million profit for the quarter, up from $48 million year-over-year, though overall sales declined 3.9%. Annual profit reached $272 million, surpassing the previous year's $109 million. Management expects sales to remain flat but anticipates stabilisation throughout the year.
Kohl's does not plan to close additional stores after shuttering 27 locations in early 2025, leaving it with 1,150 stores. CEO Michael Bender said over 90% of current stores are profitable, and the company will focus on optimising existing locations rather than opening or closing stores. The retailer is implementing strategies to boost sales amid consumer financial pressures, including introducing a "deal bar" with items under $10, expanding MAC Cosmetics to 850 Sephora locations, and increasing budget children's clothing options. Kohl's reported $125 million profit for the quarter ending 31 January 2026, up from $48 million the previous year. However, sales declined 3.9% for the quarter and 4% for the full year, continuing a multi-year downward trend. The company evaluates its store portfolio annually.
Kohl's is considering opening new stores in 2026 after improving its financial performance, CEO Michael Bender said. The department store chain, which operates over 1,100 locations with more than 90% profitable, closed 27 underperforming stores in early 2025 but is now focused on optimising existing locations rather than major expansions or closures. The Wisconsin-based retailer reported $272 million in profit for 2025, up from $186 million in 2024, with operating cash flow rising to $1.4 billion from $648 million. However, net sales fell 3.9% and comparable store sales dropped 2.8% in the latest quarter. To attract customers, Kohl's is emphasising value through initiatives like a new Deal Bar featuring items under $10 and simplified store layouts.
Kohl's Corporation released results for the quarter and year ended 31st January 2026, with quarterly net sales declining 3.9% year-on-year to $5.0 billion. Comparable sales fell 2.8% in Q4 2025, with severe weather conditions accounting for approximately 70 basis points of the decline after winter storms forced roughly half its stores to close in January. Store sales declined mid-single digits in both Q4 and FY 2025, primarily due to decreased transactions. For FY 2026, Kohl's expects net sales and comparable sales between a 2% decline and flat, operating margins of 2.8%–3.4%, and earnings per share of $1.00–$1.60. Following the results, Jefferies reduced its price target to $15 from $22 whilst maintaining a hold rating.
