Kohl’s Rebounds On Strong April Sales Data

For its part, Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE:KSS) is recuperating some of the ground lost on Thursday, trading almost 4% in the green on Friday afternoon. Even though first-quarter results announced on Thursday were quite disappointing, April retail sales data released on Friday helped the stock rebound. So, what’s changed? Well, the poor corporate results suggested U.S. consumers were not spending much; however, this is not exactly the case. It is not that people are not consuming, but that their spending has been reallocated, away from traditional department stores, and into non-store retailers, which saw sales rise by 8.1% in April. Moreover, retail sales as a whole appreciated by 1.3% in April, the Commerce Department report assured. Among the funds that we track, 22 were long Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE:KSS) by the end of the fourth quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, Michael Messner’s Seminole Management joined this list, with a new stake comprising 180,589 shares of the company.
