WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - While reporting financial results for the third quarter on Tuesday, department store chain Kohl's Corp. (KSS) slashed its earnings, sales growth and comp sales growth guidance for the full-year 2024.
For fiscal 2024, the company now projects earnings in a range of $1.20 to $1.50 per share on a net sales decline of 7 to 8 percent, with comparable sales decline of 6 to 7 percent.
Previously, the company expected earnings in a range of $1.75 to $2.75 per share on net sales decline of 4 to 6 percent, with comparable sales decline of 3 to 5 percent.

'We are approaching our financial outlook for the year more conservatively given the third quarter underperformance and our expectation for a highly competitive holiday season,' said Tom Kingsbury, Kohl's CEO.
