Executive summary
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%.
StocksXray gives Kimberly Clark Corp an X-Ray Score of 50 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 48% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is profitability (68) and its weakest is growth (30).
Our fair value blend is $131.29 (range $125.60 to $136.27). At $105.57 the stock trades 20% below that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
