▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Kohl's on Tuesday forecast a bigger drop in annual sales than previously expected, a sign the department-store chain is struggling to draw in shoppers as it navigates a CEO change ahead of a promotion-heavy holiday shopping season. "Our third-quarter results did not meet our expectations, as sales remained soft in our apparel and footwear businesses," Kingsbury said. The CEO's surprise departure comes as the company enters the critical holiday shopping period including Black Friday, one of the busiest times of the year for retailers and shoppers. It logged a decrease in comparable sales of 9.3% for the quarter ended Nov. 2, its eleventh consecutive quarter of decline. This is Kohl's third straight quarter with a lowered sales forecast.

Now, VCs say many digital health startups are cutting their valuations to live another day. As of mid-November, PitchBook data shows 327 digital health startups that grabbed funding in 2021 but haven't raised since. Not even the AI boom, which has brought back-to-back fundraises for hot healthcare startups like Abridge, can make up for the discrepancy. "There are more digital health companies that are selling assets, selling people, or whatever they can," said Greg Yap, a partner at Menlo Ventures.

Walmart on Monday confirmed that it's ending some of its diversity initiatives, removing some LGBTQ-related merchandise from its website and winding down a nonprofit that funded programs for minorities. Those companies include Tractor Supply , which said in June it was eliminating DEI roles and stopping sponsorship of Pride festivals. Among the changes, Walmart will no longer allow third-party sellers to sell some LGBTQ-themed items on Walmart's website, including items marketed to transgender youth like chest binders, company spokeswoman Molly Blakeman said. It's also moved away from using the term "diversity, equity and inclusion" or DEI in company documents, employee titles and employee resource groups. Walmart's DEI changes were first reported by Bloomberg News.

▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Melissa Repko | In Melissa-Repko | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Nordstrom on Tuesday beat Wall Street's quarterly sales expectations, as revenue grew about 4% year over year from shoppers buying clothing, shoes and activewear at both the company's namesake department store and its off-price chain. Compared with the second quarter, women's apparel, shoes and men's apparel sales in the fiscal third quarter also grew sequentially. Comparable sales increased 4% across Nordstrom's two brands, its namesake and its off-price chain, Nordstrom Rack. That easily topped analysts' expectations for 0.7% gains in comparable sales, according to StreetAccount. Nordstrom's sales growth, while modest, is notable at a time when sales of discretionary merchandise and the luxury category have been under pressure.

You may not know it by looking at sticker prices in grocery aisles, but Thanksgiving dinner is more affordable than it has been in years. “If your dollar had the same overall purchasing power as a consumer in 1984 … this would be the least expensive Thanksgiving meal in the 39-year history of the AFBF Thanksgiving survey, other than the outlier of 2020,” the authors wrote. Target is offering a $20 Thanksgiving meal for four, including a small turkey, canned vegetables and stovetop stuffing mix. Walmart is promoting an “inflation-free Thanksgiving” meal of 29 items that can serve eight people for $56. “Don’t be afraid to check out multiple retailers.”Some Thanksgiving meal packages offer more ingredients, but that could mean preparing more dishes from scratch.

Currently, individuals and married couples can gift or bequeath $13.61 million and $27.22 million, respectively, before a 40% federal estate tax kicks in. AdvertisementThe heirs don't own the trust assets but rather have lifetime rights to the trust's income and real estate. Any payout is also protected from estate taxes, even if the insured's estate and death benefit exceed the exemption. AdvertisementThis tactic can also be used to save on estate taxes by ultra-rich entrepreneurs who have already used their exemption but have less-wealthy parents who haven't. When the children inherit the assets, the federal estate tax doesn't kick in as long as the grandparents' estate does not exceed $27.22 million.
