Kohl's Q2 earnings beat expectations, prompting a share price rally and an increase in full-year guidance.

Growth initiatives such as the Sephora partnership, proprietary brands, and impulse business show promise but need more time to fully materialize.

Kohl's shares are soaring again—and this time it's not just a meme stock.
