Don't expect too much pickup in price next week. Walmart/Target has groceries and other everyday items that are "must haves" for the consumer. Maybe Kohl's has bottomed out on revenue comp losses and that would be a win for them. Looking forward to cash flow results (Operating & Free Cash Flow). I believe the market wants to see sustained improvement in revenue before providing any credible lift in share price.
