  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.76 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Kimberly-Clark Corporation moved 0.76% on average · correlation 0.29 · higher than 68% of US names

  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.31% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.49% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Kimberly-Clark Corporation

KMB in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Kimberly-Clark makes personal-care and tissue products sold under brands such as Huggies, Kleenex, Scott and Depend. It runs two segments, North America and International Personal Care, covering nappies, wipes, feminine and incontinence care, and paper products such as towels and tissue. It sells mainly through supermarkets, mass merchants, drugstores and warehouse clubs, alongside professional channels for offices and food service, and is based in Dallas.
Where it sits in the stack
Kimberly-Clark carries no seat in Rubin, our AI build-out index; it belongs instead to the household and personal-products sleeve of the consumer-defensive sector, alongside other slow-moving branded-goods makers.
Who it is priced against
The diary has no peer group set for it, but a strategy note groups it with other consumer-staples slow-compounders such as Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson; Procter & Gamble is the competitor the market most often names alongside it.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Kimberly-Clark sits in the S&P 500 but has no Rubin seat and no Closelooknet score yet. A strategy piece on covered calls for income lists it among dividend aristocrats used for that approach.
What the diary watches
Whether the stock stabilises after its recent pullback below its 50-day and 200-day averages, and whether further analyst target cuts follow the recent one.
