Let me tell you why you should buy $KSS
KSS triggered SSR rule (short sale restriction rule) today, effective till end of tomorrow, which will make short more difficult and give long advantage. Potential short squeeze tomorrow? 🤓
I love my spacestock KSS.AX and it will run to $1 until end of 21

KSS - light volume. Short covering hasn’t started yet
Babe, is everything ok? You’ve hardly aped your KSS
Babe, is everything ok? You’ve hardly aped into KSS today
KSS will be the next game store
KSS soaring. What do they do? Idk I think their some kinda space company
One of you rich regards needs to ape KSS so it pushes past $9, thank you
KSS might actually pop that regard was right
KSS are coming off a double bottom where a bunch of negative press did not affect the price. They surpassed the 50 day moving average. So I see buyers coming in and the Shorts situation is just icing.
How do institutions own more than 100% of KSS?
fondling my balls like two gold coins right now. considering investing in KSS 🤔
What’s your reasoning? I’m a bit weary on KSS since so much DD was done the past few months that I’m afraid it will be manipulated.
I think we should all be hammering KSS rn but I’m regarded so do what you’d like
KSS rally continues
KSS movement this morning is a joke
I’m late but I don’t understand what you mean with your comment. If the nominal value is low that means that premiums are lower too, which allows you to buy more contracts for the same amount of money. I have 12.5C for 06/06. If KSS goes to $20 I will 80x my investment. You’re misinformed
KSS - hop on the gain train before it leaves the station
How is a company ($CELH) with only 11.2% of the float shorted going to squeeze exactly? And why rating one with 21.05% of the float ($SMR) and only 2.6 days to cover 1) having a lower juice target and squeeze score in your mind 2) standing above the rest of the pack when you have $KSS and others with such higher short interest and days to cover?
I have some too. I like $KSS because its fair value is already over 4x what it’s trading for alongside the high short interest and a while to cover.
Try $KSS $WOLF $SPCE if you want to catch a squeeze. $KSS deep value
What's the story here with KSS? I haven't been paying attention.
There’s been a lot of rabble about KSS. I may throw in two grand on shares tmrw
BV is $35 and if using $FL buyout BV premium $KSS is worth $41ish
KSS my ass. Next bankrupt department store
KSS I love it in every way and 50%+ short interest and sooo much more
KSS - hope on the gain train before it leaves the station
KSS will squeeze hard if there are rumors of a buyout
Someone needs to tell me KSS is shit before I buy a bunch of shares 
What do we think of KSS? Seems like another cult but I haven't looked into it
It’s been squeezing Didn’t have long for shorts to cover Need volume in $KSS
what is going on with KSS…..pre earnings action or covering? Up in a down day.
Buy KSS calls. Earnings in 2 weeks😜
FL has similar issues?? Declining sales over last 3 years with TTM below 2020. The biggest difference is ownership structure and short interest but not by much. SI for FL is 13% KSS 50%+. FL is 89% institutional owned while KSS is near 100% But kohls balance sheet is better due to massive hard asset holdings
No, buy calls. At similar take over value off premium of BV of KSS relative to FL would equate to a share value of ~$41. It’s at $8.
No on $KSS being a take over target or buyout/take private
Who else is buying KSS calls for earnings
only down 75% :) KSS JUN 20 2025 $10 CALL
I had this happen with $kss recently. I own 100 calls at $27.50 bc it was cheaper to buy them at the time than $30 calls on $KSS. I think I bought the $27.50s for $0.1 and the $30s were $0.11 By what I’ve seen, this happens most with options that aren’t heavily traded
When Boomers try and tell you to "stick to dividend stocks" just show them UNH, WBA, and KSS. I fucking hate dividend stocks unless it's AAPL.
Make sure you’re buying far out. Also buying what you believe in. I’m super heavy in $KSS
$KSS all day right now. Up 33%+ from last months lows and gaining.
KSS look its about to bust a nut
> I could see a PE firm taking KSS private at a fair-enough premium over stock price. But a true bounce-back... I dunno. Yea, but the CEO they brought on who specializes in that kind of thing was just canned, basically being accused of embezzlement.
I'm sorry but given time, most department stores will eventually go bankrupt. There's a Wikipedia page somewhere that documents the hundreds and hundreds of case. KSS is trading @ $7.57/share. It's a pipe dream that it's ever going to see $35/share. Also, when a stock has such a low nominal share price, there's virtually no advantage in buying LEAPS. Simply buying the shares are a lottery ticket. You're better off really doing some due diligence and identifying the 100 best pubically traded businesses/stocks that yuu can and then sitting on your hands until one of them gets unfairly beaten down. That's when you go in heavy with the LEAPS buying.
I honestly don't know why they're not automatically reinvested! I thought that I had it set up for that, but maybe I turned it off and forgot? My portfolio is mostly buy-and-hold stock, so I decided in January to just let things ride and not panic sell. Which means I haven't even LOOKED at it until today! I had dividends from USEA, SHIP, RCL, KSS, M, BRY, IYW, F, COP, and MUR.
I’ve been watching KSS off and on since I got out in 2022. I pulled the trigger bc it was so oversold and the short interest is insane. I wasn’t a buyer at $12-$15. I am a buyer now. There is a weird narrative being pushed about KSS going bankrupt that doesn’t make sense to me. I think it’s gotten so beat up we may see a buyout offer or a turnaround bc it’s gotten so bad. I’m not sure tho. The shorts upped their interest recently and dumped another 4-6M shares last week by what I can tell. What’s nice about it tho is that the shorts costs quadrupled today alone so if it keeps moving the low cost shorting is gone
I'm looking closely at buying long shares and sitting on them. I can't bring myself to pull the trigger though. In essence, the info you provided ain't wrong. But that info existed to a significant degree (high value of real estate, good PE, etc) 12 months ago. And KSS lost approx. 70% of its value since then. Sales continue to fall, stores have closed, there's dissent in the ranks (another board member resigned last week, and flamed KSS on her way out), and more. I'll keep watching. The company just seems to have a black cloud over it. Plus, the brand doesn't feel relevant. I could see a PE firm taking KSS private at a fair-enough premium over stock price. But a true bounce-back... I dunno. Note: The stock popped 12% today, which was great. But then again, everything popped today.
I don’t know much about him nor could I find out much. I like his CVV, I like that the KSS board member left over him taking charge, I also liked the guy that got fired and think they might have been exploring take private/PE offers or something(what Ashley was known for). I personally think the BIG news event is if KSS announces next earnings call that they bought back 20-50%+ of the company for next to nothing. They laughably have a $2.5b of a $3B share repurchase authorization since 2022 that they keep pulling forward.
I’m heavy in $KSS. 50%+ Short Interest with market cap at FCF. $5B-$10B in CRE free and clear. For me it’s a long value play but half my cash is stock half is LEAPs. Long dated options are pretty cheap still.
I’m with you on this and think we beat the same drum lol! Market Cap: $800M selling at 5-7.5PE, .67x EBITDA, 1x FCF, 1x current marketing budget, 1.3x this years CapEx Budget RE owned: $5B-$10B (look up SPG/BAM buyout to see this is right) FCF: $700M+ Earnings: $109M posted ~$170M when adjusted EBITDA $1.241B Debt schedule shows $4.7B in debt for leases yet $3.9B is future lease extensions(this is a note in their 10-k) Annual Marketing Budget: $800M Fair Market Value of $KSS is $35-$70 depending on how you run the math. This is just insane to me. Ope and forgot a Short Interest at 50%+ so greater than GME and AMC at their peaks when 98% of shares are owned by institutional investors
The biggest misconception is $KSS debt schedule. Kohls shows up as having a ton of debt but it isn’t accurate. GAAP requires all leases to show up as debt. $3.9B or so of the $4.7B of lease debt is on future options to extend their leases. It’s a note on their 10-K just under their lease schedule
I personally look at random tickers people post and then look at float, SI, and the chart and decide if I wanna gamble with it or not. Not everything that's heavily shorted will squeeze. Personally I'm in $KSS because I think even if they liquidated everything they're undervalued as shit. Plus about 100m float with over 50% SI and flirting with all time lows makes me fond it attractive. Not saying my method is foolproof but I was early for the SPRT squeeze a few years back. GL
Bet the farm on KSS 8 calls I imagine I’m somehow early and late
All in on $KSS. You'll be retired this time next year.

Gamma squeeze on KSS wen
Short squeeze on Kohls (KSS) anybody?
I'm pretty negative the market so been primarily cash with some call and puts to hedge major swings. I am a value investor and think there is way too much risk not being accounted for in everyone's numbers. leading into this April I was long gold with calls, short the overall market with a few key positions and a general market position, and bulk cash. I cashed out again with the crazy ride in mid-April. I'm personally invested with calls on SLV(I parlayed part of my GLD profits into it), LONG KSS(its a whole story but you can see why if you click on my name and see my posts lol), and just went short again last Friday against AAPL and SPY(\~12% of portfolio). IF I wasn't in KSS I would be \~70% to 80% cash with the long SLV and shorts listed.
I think you are right with hedging. I also hedged alot against the market and was mainly cash, GLD options, and PUTs leading into April. I cashed out with a pretty awesome return and just entered puts again w/ \~12% of my current portfolio. I have been long GLD but out in the $280s. I took my profits bc I can't forecast what will happen but parlayed a portion into SLV since it's so out of balance. I am too nervous to be long on much right now and find it safer to be in cash with options giving you potential upsides if things take off again all a sudden. With that said, I am super bullish KSS. I love real estate and a deep value investor. You can look at all the reasons why on the r/KSSBulls subreddit if you even care(for me its a real estate play). It's the only thing I've seen that has gotten me excited on the buy side in a while.
Ironically, I look at KSS as a real estate play. I view tariffs as a short term tail wind for them since they have a $2.9B inventory as of last report and were building into this spring. Long term(more thinking this fall), if they haven't pivoted suppliers I see it hurting them but they will be in same boat as all others in the clothing industry I would think? Either way, real estate is why I like em so much
KSS blow pre CEO fireing levels, all bc i bought calls.
How regarded am I for going KSS calls jul - Dec between 7.5 and 10?
KSS has to be top 10 worst stocks in existence
honestly the more and more I research and analyze KSS the more I like it personally. I just did a write up on r/KSSBulls analyzing the economics of a leaseback. It doubles value w/o taking into account additional cash and pays off ALL debt. honestly none of this makes sense to me
My KSS has completely fuckn died, that's cool.
Thinking of loading up on cheap KSS calls for ceo announcement. Thoughts? Is this bed bath and beyond again?
Personally I’m pretty negative whole market. I converted all my GLD into SLV a bit ago(when GLD was in the $280s. Rose too much too fast so was worried and think silver should catch up). I just started a position against the market Thursday and Friday. I only have about 12% of portfolio in puts against. Specifically 6months out against SPY and AAPL. I started getting really bullish on Kohls(KSS) of all companies. Their CRE is worth multiples of their current stock price. This is now my largest personal position ever percentage wise in a stock. My personal portfolio outside of the market is mainly real estate and some businesses I own and so I look at KSS right now as buying high value CRE for 10 or so cents on the dollar.
Literally yes. KSS being undervalued could be my opinion regardless if I invest in it or not. You have no inherent right to know what my investments are. So look up the definition of entitlement… textbook.
KSS has a chance at a decent rebound bump depending on who they hire as ceo. Probably wouldn’t hold after that cause of the tariffs effecting clothes so much but it’s got potential
Bruh been following KSS. I like the squeeze potential but I also sold some covered calls today
KSS is beginning 
$KSS is a sleeper. Shorts have it priced like bankruptcy is imminent. KSS have leverage problems for sure, but have those entire decade to get back on track. Some private equity will buy them (Khols declined an offer a couple years ago in the $30s) before too long. To have such high short interest with no bankruptcy insight gives this stock a lot of runway.
KSS you piece of shit 
Can KSS fucking do something 
Everybody wanna talk about MSFT for being up 9% but so is KSS and it’s cheap as fuck
Guess I’m in the minority here. I see a big opportunity with how KSS is currently valued and with what a new CEO that’s not just trying to get their friends paid can do
Anybody else doing some cheap plays on KSS? Looks like they are at all time lows and a new ceo could boost that up?
KSS just fired it's CEO, stock up 5%
Calls on KSS before they hire the new ceo?
