Kohl's Corporation (KSS)

Q3 2026
▲2▼2

Kohl's Q2 EPS Beat, Raised Outlook, Buybacks; Sales Still Weak

  • Q2 earnings beat and raised full-year outlook Kohl's reported Q2 EPS of $1.28, far above the $0.55 consensus, and raised its full-year earnings outlook to $1.80–$2.40 from $1.00–$1.60. This profit surge, partly from tariff refunds, gives investors a reason to bid the stock higher.

    The earnings beat and guidance raise are the main new positive catalysts for KSS this period.

  • Restarted share buybacks up to $100 million Kohl's said it will restart share repurchases of up to $100 million in 2026 under its existing $3 billion authorization. Buybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding, which can lift earnings per share and support the stock price.

    Buybacks are a new capital-return action that directly supports the share price.

  • Comparable sales fell 0.9%, missing expectations Kohl's Q2 comparable sales dropped 0.9%, worse than the 0.6% decline analysts expected, and total revenue slipped to $3.52 billion. The weak top line shows customers are still pulling back, which weighs on the stock and limits how much the profit beat can lift it.

    The sales miss is the key negative counterweight to the earnings beat.

  • Low-income consumer stress threatens future demand Reports highlight that low-income shoppers are under pressure, with diesel prices up over 40% and half of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. Since Kohl's depends on these shoppers, continued stress could hurt sales in coming quarters and keep a lid on the stock.

    This explains the demand risk that could offset the positive earnings news.

Q3 2026

ADVICE rides record profit, iPhone 18 demand, and broker upgrades

  • Record Q2 profit and raised dividend ADVICE reported a record Q2 fiscal 2026 net profit of 137 million baht, up 83% year on year, beating estimates. Revenue hit a new high of 4.5 billion baht, and the company announced a first-half dividend of 0.23 baht per share. This strong result supports the stock price by showing the company is growing and returning cash to shareholders.

    This is a major new earnings event that directly boosts investor confidence and the stock's value.

  • iPhone 18 Pro Max bookings fully subscribed ADVICE said bookings for the iPhone 18 Pro Max filled their allocated quota and sold out quickly. The company expects Q3 2026 revenue to improve from Q2, driven by new smartphone models, and maintains a 15% revenue growth target for 2026. This drives the stock up because it signals strong consumer demand and higher sales ahead.

    This is a new, company-specific demand catalyst that directly supports future revenue and earnings.

  • Broker upgrades and top-pick status Krungsri Securities recommends buying ADVICE with an 8.40 baht target, forecasting 2026 profit up 65%. Daiwa Securities names ADVICE among its five top picks for October. Kasikorn Securities expects Q3 profit to surge 84% year on year and sets a target of 8.82 baht. These endorsements attract investors and push the price up.

    New analyst recommendations and targets provide fresh reasons for investors to buy the stock.

  • Strong Q3 sales but margin and growth may slow Krungsri notes Q3-to-date sales for IT retailers like ADVICE grew 15-20% year on year, helped by pull-forward purchases before the iPhone 18 launch. However, it warns post-launch sales growth may slow and the boost from low-cost inventory will fade, potentially slowing earnings growth in late 2026 and 2027. This creates some caution for the stock.

    This provides a balanced view, highlighting both current demand strength and future headwinds that could affect the stock.
