Bulls

Kimberly is working to streamline its stock-keeping units, modernize its supply chain, and strategically adjust its organizational structure. These efforts have enabled it to realize half of its $3 billion multiyear savings target through the end of 2025.

Bears

Following its recent private-label exit, Kimberly disclosed it lost shelf-space exclusivity at a major club store (presumably Costco). This opens the door to increased competition from P&G and others.
