Department Store Deals: Kohl’s Corporation (KSS), Dillard’s, Inc. (DDS)

Comparable company valuation isn’t the only technique to use in valuing a company. There have been steady gains across successful department stores over the last year, with Dillard’s clearly leading the industry. With an average 15.94 Price to Earnings ratio across these companies, Dillard’s would need to grow its earnings to $7.78 per share. This is only an increase of 22%, which isn’t unheard of.

Dillard’s has seen an amazing year and the company still has room to grow.
