Kohl's beat expectations with earnings of 52 cents per share and revenues of $3.89 billion, attributed to reduced inventories and cost-cutting measures. Dick's missed estimates with earnings of $2.82 per share and revenues of $3.224 billion, due to slowed sales and excess inventory. Macy's beat estimates with earnings of 26 cents per share and revenues of $5.13 billion, but faces challenges with declining sales and increased credit card payment delinquencies.
