Kimberly-Clark Earnings: Innovation Winning With Consumers, Propping up Sales; Shares a Bargain
Organic sales rose 3.9% in Kimberly-Clark's second quarter, a byproduct of higher volumes (up 5%) that were only partially offset by lower prices (down 1.2%). Volumes were inflated to the tune of 170 basis points, though, on retailer inventory stocking. Adjusted operating margin was flat at 17.3%.
