Kohl's stock is sinking Tuesday after the retailer missed Q3 earnings expectations, slashed its full-year outlook and announced a C-suite shakeup.
Kohl's (KSS) stock experienced a significant decline after the company reported disappointing first-quarter earnings and announced a CEO transition. The retailer missed Wall Street's expectations with an adjusted EPS of 13 cents, far below the anticipated 28 cents, and revenue of $3.57 billion, which was less than the expected $3.71 billion.
