Q118 - Strong performance
Kohl's Q1 EPS was $0.64 vs consensus $0.50, with a beat across all metrics. The strong gross margin and inventory performance seen in the biggest department stores indicates a much healthier state of the sector compared to prior years. FY guidance is also raised, albeit slightly less than the Q1 beat. Nevertheless, raising guidance this early in the year indicates strong confidence in trends.Kohl's operates department stores, a website (www.Kohls.com), FILA outlets, and Off-Aisle clearance centers. The company's Kohl's stores and website sell proprietary and national brand apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty and home products. The company's website includes merchandise that is available in its stores, as well as merchandise that is available only online. The company's portfolio includes private brands such as Apt. 9, Croft & Barrow, Jumping Beans, SO and Sonoma Goods for Life and exclusive brands that are developed and marketed through agreements with brands such as Food Network, LC Lauren Conrad, Elle and Simply Vera Vera Wang.
