Kohl's Is Losing Market Share to Off-Price Retailers -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-11 01:23

1323 ET - Off-price retailers including Ross, T.J. Maxx and Burlington appear to have stolen market share from Kohl's over the holiday shopping season, JPMorgan analysts say in a research note. Comps across off-price retailers were on average 6% higher during 4Q, the analysts say, citing Chase credit- and debit-card transaction data. In contrast, Kohl's comparable sales fell 2.8% during the recent quarter. CEO Michael Bender says on a call with analysts that the department-store chain needed to offer breakthrough value during key holiday shopping periods, after losing competitive ground during high-traffic shopping windows. JPMorgan maintains its underweight rating and lowers its price target to $15 from $22. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
