Kohl’s Corporation (KSS) Stock News & Analysis

Kohl’s is not planning another wide-scale round of store closures in 2026, Chief Executive Michael Bender said, according to media reports Tuesday. The department-store operator, which closed 27 locations last year, is looking to reassure investors. Shares finished the day off 2.7% at $12.69.

Kohl’s scrubbed its Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, store from its locator after confirming to local press that the branch will close March 14. That leaves the department-store operator with 44 Michigan locations—Sault Ste. Marie no longer among them—as part of its ongoing reset.

Kohl's Corporation shares dropped 5.3% to $19.40 in afternoon trading, following an earlier range between $18.92 and $20.60.

Kohl’s Corp shares were off roughly 5.1% at $20.66 Friday afternoon, after a choppy session that ran from $22.27 down to $20.43. The department-store operator opened at $22.00.

Kohl’s Corporation stock sold off sharply in Monday trading on December 22, 2025, underscoring just how jumpy this name remains after a meme-stock-flavored year. By early afternoon, KSS traded around $21.6, down roughly 7% on the session, after opening near $23.20 and touching an intraday low around $21.69. Volume was a little over 2.2 million shares at the time of the quote—active, but not the kind of panic stampede you’d see in a full-blown capitulation day. StockAnalysis+1
