BofA/Merrill said Kohl's Q2 miss was due to lower sales and higher SG&A and weakness reflects investor concerns on accelerating comps. The firm believes new programs and incremental loyalty events will drive positive comps, but its second half estimate is slightly below guidance. BofA/Merrill said valuation is compelling and free cash flow remains robust. The firm rates shares a Buy with a lowered price target of $65 on shares, down from $80.
