Kohls Corporation
Here’s whether Kohls Corporation (KSS) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bullish.
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); 50-day MA is rising (+3.61% over 10 days); strong 1-year return of +32.1%; 3-month momentum positive (+34.8%). Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative). Currently 30.2% off its 52-week high. Score: +4/7.
KSS is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($17.20) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($18.14), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. An RSI of 33.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +32.1% compares to +20.5% for SPY (beat the market by 11.7%). The current 30.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
