62

On fundamental quality it scores 62 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue -2.6%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Kimberly-Clark makes what daily life consumes without thinking: Huggies diapers, Scott toilet paper, Kleenex tissues and feminine-care products. A consumer-staples classic living off century-old brands and the eternal fight between price and volume.
