Kimberly-Clark Earnings: 3 Trends to Watch
It's been a disappointing two-year stretch for Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) investors. The consumer goods giant lowered its growth outlook several times since early 2016 due to struggles in the core U.S. market. As a result, management is now projecting flat organic sales this year compared to a 2% uptick last year and a 5% boost in 2015.
Shareholders aren't expecting the generally poor industry outlook to change when Kimberly-Clark announces third-quarter results on Monday, Oct. 23. But the company might have good news to share when it comes to profitability and cash returns. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at what investors can expect from Monday's earnings report.
