KSSKohl's Corporation
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector, but at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for a decline (~−29% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 5% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 8.8 vs a 7.7 median over 34 quarters (+14% vs median).
Sector median 16.2× across 156 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Aug 1, 2026.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
