Kohl's (KSS, $58.37) misses quarterly earnings estimate; lowers full-year earnings outlook

Kohl's Corp. reported third quarter earnings that fell short of expectations. The company also slashed its full-year profit guidance.

The retail company’s  adjusted earnings for the three months ending on November 2 came in at 74 cents per share, well below the Street estimate of 86 cents per share. The figure is also -24.4% lower compared to the year-ago quarter.

For the full fiscal year 2019, Kolhl’s now expects earnings to range between $4.75 and $4.95 per share, down from its prior forecast of $5.15 to $5.40 per share.
