Management guidance will heavily influence KSS stock price trajectories. Store closures and omni-channel investment are expected to reshape long-term revenue streams. Kohl's reported revenues of $4.05 billion, down 5.2% year on year, topping analyst expectations by 2.7%. It was a mixed quarter for the company. While same-store sales and net sales (excluding credit card operations revenue) missed expectations, gross margin and expense control was better, leading to a nice EPS beat vs. analysts' expectations. Guidance was also mixed, with the full year outlook lowered for same-store sales but raised for EPS. The firm also recently announced a quarterly dividend, which will be paid on Wednesday, September 24th. Stockholders of record on Wednesday, September 10th will be given a dividend of $0.125 per share. The ex-dividend date is Wednesday, September 10th. This represents a $0.50 dividend on an annualized basis and a dividend yield of 2.9%. Kohl's's dividend payout ratio (DPR) is 27.03%. Today’s KSS stock price action shows muted volume at 2.9M shares, below the three-month daily average of 3.5M. Lower participation typically precedes sharp directional moves on earnings days.
