Quote from Kohl’s current CEO, Michael J. Bender:

We are pleased with our start to 2026. Our key initiatives continue to drive progressive improvements to the business, resulting in our best comparable sales performance in over four years. In addition, we continue to manage the business with great discipline leading to strong expense management, cleaner inventories, and an improved balance sheet.


Key Takeaways: Kohls reported its highest comparable sales growth in four years! Although still not back to positive growth, this is a good sign as Kohl’s continues to emphasize their desire to stabilize performance. CEO Michael J. Bender extended his sincere gratitude to all Kohl’s associates for their dedication to this mission. In other news, they have launched an AI assistant and will be expanding MAC cosmetics to all Sephora locations following its continued success.
