In doing so, we have taken special care to equip our stores with the latest health and safety measures,” said Gass. “As we look ahead, we know this experience will have a lasting impact to customer behavior and the retail landscape, and we are evolving our strategies to ensure our relevance and to capture market share.”Investors initially welcomed Kohl’s online sales growth figures and the management’s update on store reopenings as the stock rose as much as 4.5% in pre-market U.S. trading. Following the opening of U.S. financial markets, the shares swung into declines dropping 8.8% to $17.16 in morning trading.Overall, Wall Street analysts are sidelined on Kohl’s stock.
