The American retail landscape is littered with the corpses of once-dominant chains that failed to adapt.

Kohl's reported -1.7% comparable store sales in Q3 2025, which was its best result since 2021. It also updated its guidance to -2.5% to -3% comps for the full year, better than initial expectations for -4% to -6% comps. The better-than-expected sales help its operating margins by reducing SG&A as a percentage of revenue.
