What Caught Our Attention in the Investment World? – Week of January 24-28, 2022

By Kuldip K. Ambastha

Kohl’s Corporation (KSS) is an American department store retail chain, founded by Maxwell Kohl in 1962. On Monday, January 24, 2022, the company’s stock delivered a +36.0% return for the trading day. Why? The stock was in the public eye and in play due to the company receiving takeover offers through various investment firms with a focus on shareholder activism. In an environment of stiff competition, Kohl’s Corporation has struggled but also has been taking positive steps to increase sales and profits. It remains to be seen if one of the takeover offers will be accepted or if Kohl’s Corporation will instead continue to independently pursue its own improvement strategies.
