Kimberly-Clark is driving growth through innovation and market expansion while navigating economic pressures and currency headwinds.
Kimberly-Clark (KMB) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
KMB focuses on growth through innovation, premium products and global expansion, despite challenges from currency volatility and softening demand.
I upgraded Kimberley-Clark from sell to hold, as the market has likely priced on the downside, keeping valuation rangebound. KMB's Q4 sales fell 0.8% y/y, with organic sales growth at 2.3%, but only 0.7% excluding hyperinflationary markets. I remain skeptical about KMB's ability to meet FY25 guidance due to limited pricing power and challenges in volume growth.
Kimberly-Clark's Q4 2024 and full fiscal year results earlier this week were a non-event for the market. The release, however, raises some red flags for 2025 and beyond with GAAP margins expected to remain under pressure. Returning cash to shareholders seems to be a priority for KMB's management which in my view is a problem for long-term shareholders.
Kimberly-Clark NYSE: KMB is a high-yielding Dividend King offering an attractive entry point early in 2205. The stock is trading near the low end of a long-term trading range with value relative to historical norms, the consumer staples sector, the broad market, and a high and reliable dividend yield.
KMB's Q4 sales and earnings decline year over year. However, organic sales rise on improved volumes and pricing.
