Kohl's Corporation (ISIN US5002551043) was upgraded to Buy from Hold by Gordon Haskett on October 22, 2026, which set a USD 27.00 price target, according to Markets Insider. Against the NYSE quote of USD 23.58 on October 27, 2026 at 3:12 p.m. ET, the target is 14.50 percent above the share price. Kohl's stock was trading at EUR 21.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 8:10 p.m. CEST.

Quarterly earnings set the baseline

Kohl's second-quarter results gave the analyst view a measurable operating backdrop. MarketBeat reported on October 22, 2026 that the retailer delivered USD 1.28 in earnings per share on USD 3.52 billion of revenue for the quarter ended August 1, 2026. The same report cited fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of USD 1.80 to USD 2.40 per share.

Traffic is the operating test

Gordon Haskett's case rests on improving customer traffic rather than a completed turnaround. Trend and Ticker wrote on October 22, 2026 that traffic declines had eased from high single digits earlier in the year to mid single digits from June onward. The same account said Kohl's received USD 150 million in tariff refunds during the second quarter, with USD 100 million flowing through gross margin.

Valuation and next date

Kohl's had a market capitalization of USD 2.7 billion, a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.16, and a 52-week range of USD 11.38 to USD 25.22 as of October 27, 2026. The USD 23.58 NYSE price stood 6.50 percent below the 52-week high. Investing.com lists November 12, 2026 as the next earnings date.

Price stays below the yearly high

The analyst target therefore sits above both the current NYSE quote and the upper end of fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings guidance, while the share price remains 6.50 percent below its USD 25.22 yearly high. Kohl's stock was trading at EUR 21.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 8:10 p.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Kohl's stock.
