Why Kohl's Plunged 27% This Week

Why Kohl's Plunged 27% This Week

Shares of Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) plummeted 26.9% this week compared to where they closed last Friday, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, after the department store chain decided against selling itself and would instead remain an independent retailer. Kohl's has been the target of activist investors for more than a year amid growing disappointment with the retailer's direction. Although only one of the trio of hedge funds pushing for change was still around this year, it recently lost its attempt for a seat on Kohl's board.
