Shares of department store chain Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS)
fell 2.5% in the morning session after a consensus of analysts rated the stock as a 'Sell', citing concerns over the company's financial performance and outlook. This negative view from 11 analysts was supported by projections of a 4.0% decline in comparable sales and a 2.9% drop in overall net sales.
