Valuing Kohls Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Kohls Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Kohls Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Kohls Corporation shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Kohls Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.7348. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Kohls Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Dividend payout ratio: 1.66% of net profits
Recently Kohls Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Kohls Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kohls Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.625 per share.
While Kohls Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Kohls Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Kohls Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 1 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Kohls Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 24 April 2000 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Kohls Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kohls Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Kohls Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Kohls Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.8436 up to $26.8956. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Kohls Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
