Kimberly-Clark Corporation · KMB · NASDAQ · Consumer Defensive · Household & Personal Products
Research dated 2026-09-12: Kimberly-Clark sells branded diapers, adult and feminine care, consumer tissue, and professional hygiene products through retailers, distributors, facilities, and e-commerce. Diapers carry the largest product exposure, so this is not merely a tissue company. Steady cash generation now has to offset a sharp annual sales contraction, profit pressure below gross profit, and debt far above liquid resources.

Bars show each model's ordered assessment on its own scale, not a probability or a comparable investment return. The adjacent words give the assessment; more filled segments indicate a stronger model reading.
On Sep 10, 2026, the Munger lens read the price at that time as fairly valued against its own estimate of value.

What is Kimberly-Clark (KMB), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
The economic engine is repeated replenishment of Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex, Poise, Depend, Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, and related products.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The economic engine is repeated replenishment of Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex, Poise, Depend, Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, and related products. Household purchases flow through retailers and e-commerce, while professional products reach manufacturers, lodging operators, offices, food-service sites, and public facilities.
Operational reporting separates North America from International Personal Care, while the product view separates diapers, adult care, feminine care, consumer tissue, and professional products. North America contains personal care alongside tissue and professional hygiene; the international operation is concentrated on personal care.
What do the latest results show for Kimberly-Clark (KMB)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $4.19B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Revenue edged higher from the preceding period and the comparable period, while gross profit also improved. That progress did not reach the bottom line: selling and administrative expense increased, operating profit weakened, and net income and diluted earnings fell sharply.
The latest release missed consensus for revenue and earnings after earnings had repeatedly exceeded expectations. The observable pressure sits below gross profit, but the results alone do not establish why those costs rose.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Kimberly-Clark (KMB)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $956.00M at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $908.00M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Operating cash flow remained positive throughout the reported quarterly series and generally covered capital spending with room left over. The latest period also rebuilt cash and short-term investments substantially, although the closing balance remained below the beginning of the reported window.
Debt stands far above cash and investments, liabilities are substantial, and short-term liquidity ratios remain below full coverage. Regular dividend payments and capital investment therefore compete with debt obligations for the cash generated by everyday product sales.
Profitability and distress screens remain supportive, but elevated leverage makes continued cash conversion more important than the unusually high return on equity might imply.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.
- Latest quarter · operating cash flow

| Period end | Operating cash flow | Capital expenditure (reported) |

| Mar 31, 2026 | $745.00M | −$424.00M |
| Dec 31, 2025 | $972.00M | −$397.00M |
| Sep 30, 2025 | $708.00M | $401.00M |
Operating cash-flow bars share one scale and show magnitude; negative values mean cash used.
USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at Kimberly-Clark (KMB)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Oct 29, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
At the scheduled earnings release, watch whether sales remain near their recent quarterly range and whether improving gross profit can again reach operating profit. Selling and administrative expense is the immediate bridge between those lines, while another consensus miss would reinforce the break from the earlier earnings pattern.
Cash conversion also deserves attention: operating cash flow relative to capital spending, the direction of liquid resources, and any reduction in the gap between debt and cash. The distant consensus series contains an abrupt revenue reset far above the recent annual run rate, which becomes meaningful only if reported segment sales establish the change.
Any formal update tied to the continued-listing rule notice warrants attention alongside the periodic filings.
How does Kimberly-Clark compare with its peers?
Short answer
Kimberly-Clark's score ranks tied for 11th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Kimberly-Clark combines recurring personal-care purchases with consumer tissue and a professional hygiene channel. A tissue-only comparison misses the largest product exposure, while a personal-care-only comparison leaves out household paper products and demand from workplaces, lodging, food service, manufacturing, and public facilities.
The reporting structure also matters: North America carries the broader portfolio, whereas the international segment centers on personal care. Regional performance therefore reflects a different product mix rather than merely the same portfolio sold in different places.

KMB Consumer Defensive Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Why do Huggies and adult-care products matter to Kimberly-Clark?
Diapers generate more revenue than any other disclosed product category, while adult care adds a distinct replenishment market through Depend, Poise, and related brands.
Why can stronger Kleenex and tissue economics fail to lift Kimberly-Clark operating profit?
Gross profit improved in the latest period, but higher selling and administrative expense coincided with weaker operating profit and net income. Improvement at the product margin level must survive the cost structure below it.
What does International Personal Care include at Kimberly-Clark?
The segment sells baby and child care, adult care, and feminine care products under brands including Huggies, Kotex, Depend, Goodfeel, and Intimus. Consumer tissue and professional hygiene sit within the broader North American operation.
Can Kimberly-Clark support its dividend while carrying substantial debt?
Recent operating cash flow has covered capital spending, and dividend payments have remained regular. Debt remains far above liquid resources, so continued cash conversion is central to preserving that flexibility.

The 78 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
