About Kimberly Clark Corp
Everyday personal care and hygiene products are the focus of Kimberly-Clark. Its brands include Huggies nappies, Kleenex tissues, Kotex feminine care, Cottonelle and Scott bathroom tissue and towels, and Depend and Poise incontinence products. It also supplies workplace hygiene products to businesses. Its goods reach consumers mainly through supermarkets, mass retailers, drugstores and online stores, and the company is organised into North American and international personal care and family care operations.
Revenue comes from consumer products and professional supplies delivered to retailers and distributors. It was $16.6 billion over the last twelve months, and growth was -1.0% a year over the last three years, so sales have contracted. The operating margin is 15.2%, and the business earns a profit of 24% on the capital invested in it. Net debt is 1.7 times EBITDA. A dividend is paid, with a yield of 4.8%. On the site's X-Ray Score it receives 50 out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies like Apple). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate

Fair
+24.4% to fair value
Equal blend of three models: peer multiples, a fundamentals-adjusted multiple (growth, ROIC and margin) and a 10-year DCF scaled to the market's average. Earnings-power value (no growth) is a floor and not part of the blend. Model uncertainty is Medium, so the safety margin is 30%.
