Price Prediction: Based on technical indicators and upcoming dividend catalyst, KMB is expected to test the upper Bollinger Band at $142.78 next week. The stock shows strong momentum but is approaching overbought territory.
Recommendation: HOLD/SELL. While the uptrend remains intact, current overbought conditions and proximity to resistance levels suggest limited upside potential in the immediate term. Consider taking profits if holding positions or wait for a pullback toward the Fibonacci pivot ($134.66) for new entries.
The price of KMB is predicted to go up 0.38%, based on the high correlation periods with SLAB. The similarity of these two price pattern on the periods is 98.04%.

Kimberly is set to unlock efficiencies and reduce costs with technological upgrades, supply chain improvements, and an organizational restructuring, aiming for over $3.7 billion in savings and productivity gains; this should fuel reinvestment into the business while boosting profits.
Efforts to build out Kimberly's e-commerce capabilities are driving continued growth through this lucrative channel, which now approximates 25% of sales.
We view Kimberly's brand investments as key to differentiating its fare from lower-price private-label offerings and other nationally branded peers.
