The macro environment and intense promotional activities are expected to continue hindering KSS's growth, with no substantial sales improvement in sight.

Retailers' earnings reports over the past two weeks have illustrated a sharp divide between brands that are winning sales and those that are missing out. Target, Kohl's and Best Buy each reported disappointing results, but Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods and Abercrombie & Fitch posted strong sales in their most recent quarters.
