Kohl's shares climbed 24% on Wednesday after the retailer topped Wall Street's fiscal second-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, even as its sales declined and it looks for a new CEO.

The Wisconsin-based department store narrowed its full-year sales guidance to reflect the higher part of its previous range. It said it now expects net sales to decline by between 5% and 6%. It had previously anticipated sales would fall 5% to 7%.

It also revised its full-year earnings per share guidance. Kohl's said it expects earnings to be in the range of 50 cents to 80 cents per share adjusted. It was unclear how that compared with a previous outlook of 10 cents to 60 cents per share, which was not adjusted.
