What to Look for in Kimberly-Clark's Earnings Report

Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) shareholders have outpaced the broader market during the recent slump, with investors seeking more safety through the volatility. The company isn't likely to see collapsing sales, even in a recession. Consumers don't pull back on spending for essentials like tissue paper and diapers during downturns.

In fact, Kimberly-Clark might get a modest revenue boost thanks to stocking-up behavior and increased at-home time for people across the U.S. and Europe. Against that positive operating environment, let's look at a few metrics to follow when the owner of the Huggies and Kleenex brands announces its fiscal 2020 first-quarter earnings results on Wednesday, April 22.
