Kohl's (KSS) Stock Analysis: AI Score & Alternative Data
KSS alt-data: job postings climbing, business outlook lagging
Is Kohl's a buy right now? The alternative data says hold. This KSS stock analysis is built on the 25+ alternative data signals AltIndex tracks on Kohl's every day — hiring, web traffic, sentiment, social reach — rolled into an AI Score of 59/100: a Hold. The stock trades at $17.52 with a $2B market cap.
The bullish side of the 90-day ledger: job postings up 94.0% to 4K open roles, and web traffic up 26.1% to 68.1M monthly visits. The drag: just 35% of employees report a positive business outlook, app downloads down 34.1% to 21K downloads, and sentiment down 29.4% to 60/100. That tension is what keeps the score mid-range.
KSS’s broader alt-data profile also covers headcount (56K employees, according to LinkedIn), quarterly revenue ($3.5B), and Facebook followers (10.6M). Every signal links to its own page with full history, the KSS technical analysis covers RSI, moving averages, and support and resistance, and the full table of everything AltIndex tracks on KSS is just below.
