The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- KMB closes above its 50-day average ($102.81) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($103.04): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $108.86, KMB is 9.4% below its 1-year high of $120.09, set on October 31, 2025, and 17.8% above its 1-year low of $92.42 (April 7, 2026).
- Over the past month KMB rose 15.4%, from $94.36 to $108.86.
- KMB trades at 21.5x its last twelve months of earnings and 14.7x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 46.5% higher.
- Its P/E is 43.3% below the 37.9x median of the 3 other household & personal products companies we track (PG, CL, EL).
- KMB's 30-day volatility, 29.3% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.8%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.28: over five years of monthly returns, KMB moved about 0.28% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $102.81 (−5.6%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 0.2% to cross the 200-day at $103.04.
- A close above $120.09 (+10.3%) would be a new 1-year high; below $92.42 (−15.1%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for KMB, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under household & personal products among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for KMB by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
