Analysis
Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB) currently trades at $108.66, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $81.21, implying the stock looks roughly 25.3% overvalued today. We read business quality at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Kimberly-Clark Corporation generated revenue of $16.6B at a net margin of 12.8%. Revenue grew 2.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 111.7%. Net debt stands at $6.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $51.15 (bear case) to $123.00 (bull case); at $108.66, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 17% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -32% fair-value upside, at -25%, KMB screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($103.50) versus Asset-Based ($3.03). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
