Kimberly-Clark Corp., a mid-cap player in the FMCG sector, has recently reached a new 52-week low of USD 118.18 on October 13, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the company, which has experienced a 1-year performance drop of 11.96%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 13.36% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at approximately USD 48,490 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.00. Kimberly-Clark's dividend yield is currently at 5.01%, indicating a commitment to returning value to shareholders despite recent challenges. However, the company has faced notable financial pressures, including a reported operating cash flow of USD 2,872 million, which is among its lowest figures.

Additionally, the stock's price-to-book ratio is at 38.15, and the return on equity is remarkably high at 191.20%. Despite these metrics, Kimberly-Clark has consistently underperformed against market benchmarks over the past three years, highlighting ongoing difficulties in maintaining competitive performance in the FMCG industry.
