$130 → $140
2025-03-28
Reason
Wells Fargo raised the firm's price target on Kimberly-Clark to $140 from $130 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm says it toured Kimberly-Clark's Beech Island, SC mega plant, hosted by leaders including Chief Supply Chain Officer Tamera Fenske. "These sorts of days are a lot to digest," but Wells did come away with the sense there's real buy-in for Kimberly-Clark's ambitious savings goals.

2025-03-27
Reason
Barclays raised the firm's price target on Kimberly-Clark to $144 from $138 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Ahead of Q1 earnings, the firm revisited estimates across beverages and consumer products to account for slower consumer demand in the U.S. among other headwinds.

2025-01-17
Reason
Barclays lowered the firm's price target on Kimberly-Clark to $132 from $144 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares as part of a consumer staples Q4 earnings preview. Put simply, "it feels like there aren't many places to hide in Staples these days," the analyst tells investors in a research note.
JP Morgan
Andrea Teixeira
Sell
Maintains
$140 → $124
2025-01-16
Reason
JPMorgan analyst Andrea Teixeira lowered the firm's price target on Kimberly-Clark to $124 from $140 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. The firm anticipates an "eventful earnings season" for the household and personal care group, with key debates into 2025 of consumption behavior, impact of currency, tariff risk for multinationals, financial expenses on higher rates for longer, and asset allocation. In light of the new U.S. administration and "many puts and takes" from a macro-political standpoint, JPMorgan expects companies will opt for a "very conservative approach to their outlook."

2025-01-15
Reason
Citi lowered the firm's price target on Kimberly-Clark to $118 from $125 and keeps a Sell rating on the shares as part of a Q4 earnings preview for the beverages, household and personal care sector. Currency headwinds on the dollar strength are likely to bring down 2025 earnings growth outlooks to low- to mid-single-digits for most names with international exposure, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citi also expects a focus on potential implications from the incoming Trump administration on tariffs, immigration, product reformulations, and corporate taxes. Names the firm is positive on into the print include Coca-Cola (KO), Clorox (CLX), and Boston Beer (SAM), while it is cautious on Kenvue (KVUE), Monster Beverage (MNST), and Colgate-Palmolive (CL).
