10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Kohl's's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.92% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 34.94 million shares sold short, which is 43.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.43 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Kohl's Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730472322_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Kohl's has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Kohl's's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kohl's's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.20%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

TD Cowen Downgrades Kohl's to Hold, Lowers Price Target to $21

Kohls Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>)  reported earnings Wednesday before the bell, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40599429/kohls-q2-earnings-profit-beat-inventory-decline-margin-growth-and-more">beating estimates for EPS but missing revenue estimates by $120 million</a>. 
Executives at the company said that consumers were exhibiting more &#8220;discretion,&#8221; specifically middle-class customers who have gotten pickier with their spending, according to an analyst note from Matthew Boss at JPMorgan. The company reported an EPS for the quarter of 59 cents, 15 cents higher than the estimates of 34 cents. Revenue came in at $3.53 billion, $120 million less than expectations. 
The JPMorgan note stated that the core apparel and footwear business of Kohl&#8217;s is &#8220;eroding,&#8221; but the Sephora segment saw strong growth. The analysts at JPMorgan downgraded the stock from Neutral to Underweight, with a price target of $19 a share.

The management also cited the uncertainty of the upcoming presidential election as a potential factor causing customers to be more careful with spending. 
"We are seeing the clearest evidence of this in the performance of our core apparel and footwear offering, which experienced broad softness in the quarter," management said on the call. JPMorgan's note highlighted different &#8220;traffic initiatives&#8221; such as Babies ‘R Us, the company's baby apparel brand. Babies ‘R Us and Sephora were two of the growth drivers during the quarter while footwear and apparel sales lagged behind. KSS Price Action: Kohl&#8217;s shares traded higher initially following the company's EPS beat, but the stock sold off Wednesday midday and ended closing down around 5%. On Thursday, shares rebounded slightly, up only 0.66% closing at $19.77.
