Kohl's Q2 net income rises to $151m on $100m tariff refund despite 1% sales drop

Kohl's reported net income of $151m, or $1.28 per diluted share, for the quarter ended 1 August 2026, significantly up from last year's adjusted net income of $64m. The retailer attributed approximately $100m in tariff refunds to gross margin gains, which rose 305 basis points to 43.0%. Year-to-date net sales declined 1.2% to $6.3bn, with comparable sales down 1.0%. Operating income reached $261m, up from last year's operational baseline of $161m. The tariff refund windfall enabled Kohl's to revise its fiscal 2026 outlook upwards and restart its share repurchase programme with up to $100m in buybacks. The company now expects full-year comparable sales between a 1.5% decrease and flat, with adjusted earnings per share forecast between $1.80 and $2.40.

Kohl's reports 18th straight quarter of comp declines as Sephora sales fall 4%

Kohl's reported second-quarter net sales fell less than 1% year-on-year to $3.3 billion, with comparable sales also down less than 1%. However, Sephora at Kohl's sales declined 4%, following a drop in the first quarter. CEO Michael Bender attributed the Sephora downturn to a lack of fresh products and weakness in certain beauty categories, particularly skin care. Fragrance, hair care, and makeup remained strong. Gross margin expanded by 305 basis points to 43%, aided by $150 million in tariff refunds. Net income fell over 1% to $151 million. The department store raised its full-year guidance, now expecting sales to be flat or fall as much as 1.5%. This marked Kohl's 18th consecutive quarter of declining comps, though the best performance since third quarter 2021.

Kohl's drops 6% despite $150M tariff refund as comps fall while Ross and TJX grow organically

Kohl's shares fell 6% despite beating earnings expectations with adjusted EPS of $1.28 on revenue of $3.52 billion. The retailer received a $150 million tariff refund, of which $100 million boosted gross margin. Stripping out the refund reveals underlying weakness. Comparable sales declined 0.9%, whilst net sales fell to $3.3 billion. The stock is now down 12% year to date. By contrast, Ross Stores grew comparable sales 10% and TJX Companies reported 4% organic growth, both also benefiting from tariff refunds. Ross Stores expanded operating margin 205 basis points even excluding its $253 million refund. The divergence highlights Kohl's struggle to generate organic demand growth. Investors are treating the profit beat as reliant on one-time benefits rather than sustainable turnaround momentum.
