Kohl's Corporation's stock fell by 6.59% and crossed below its 5-day SMA amid a broader market decline, with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.45% and the S&P 500 down 0.77%.
Despite the stock's decline, Kohl's has been rated a Buy by analysts, with a Zacks Rank of #1. The consensus estimate for next year's earnings has increased by 104.4% over the past 60 days, indicating strong growth potential that may attract investor interest.
This positive outlook suggests that while the stock is currently under pressure, the underlying fundamentals remain strong, potentially positioning Kohl's for a rebound as market conditions improve.
