(Reuters) – Kohl’s Corp (NYSE:) beat quarterly profit estimates on Wednesday, as leaner inventories, lower costs and fewer discounts helped the department store operator to counter a broader retail slowdown.
The company earned 52 cents per share in the second quarter ended July 29, above analysts’ estimates of 22 cents.
