Kohls Corp's operating profit margin has shown fluctuations over the past few quarters. The operating profit margin was 4.19% as of February 3, 2024, showing an improvement compared to the previous quarter where it was 0.67% on October 28, 2023. The margin had dropped significantly in the two previous quarters from a high of 10.80% on January 29, 2022, to 1.49% on April 29, 2023.

There was a noticeable recovery in the operating profit margin from negative figures in the second half of 2021. However, the margin is still below the levels seen in early 2022. The trend indicates that Kohls Corp may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent profitability in recent quarters.

Further analysis of the company's cost structure, revenue streams, and operational efficiency may be necessary to identify the factors contributing to the fluctuating operating profit margin. Investors and stakeholders should monitor these trends closely to assess the company's financial health and performance over time.
