#4 - Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS)
Next up with 27.6% short interest is Kohl's Corporation (NYSE: KSS). The issue for Kohl's has been inventory management, which has impacted the company's profitability. Those issues appear to be behind them, and the company is posting improved margins.
And as of this writing, March retail sales showed that the consumer continues to spend. Kohl's has a loyal customer base that could put the company in a good position to capture increased market share.
Another reason that investors may be interested in Kohl's is that the dividend currently yields over 8%. However, dividend yields are impacted by a stock's price. And in this case, the yield is high because the stock price is down 21.5% in 2024.
Another thing for investors to consider is that Kohl's has been targeted by companies looking to snatch up distressed retailers. Kohl's blocked those attempts in 2022, but with the company looking undervalued, interest could continue.
