Goldman Sachs analyst Bonnie Herzog reiterated the Buy rating on Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) stock, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KMB/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $152.</a>
The company reported third quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.83, beating the street view of $1.70.

According to Herzog, Kimberly-Clark&#8217;s management efforts on productivity and the current environment are conducive to margin expansion.

Herzog also forecasts that Kimberly-Clark&#8217;s segment reorganization will enhance execution moving forward.
As a result, the analyst sees a favorable risk/reward scenario, with Kimberly-Clark&#8217;s improving fundamentals contrasting sharply with its deep valuation discount compared to its HPC peers, offering an attractive entry point for investors.
The analyst indicated that adjusted EBIT is expected to grow in the mid-to-high teens on a constant currency basis, with adjusted EPS also projected to rise similarly.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, organic sales growth is expected to be about 4% at the mid-point, versus Goldman Sachs&#8217; estimate of 5.0%.
The projected all-in EPS is $1.46, ranging from $1.33 to $1.60, reflecting a constant currency growth of 15% &#8211; 19%, compared to Goldman Sachs&#8217; estimate of $1.60.

Kimberly-Clark shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 revenue results and cut its FY24 organic net sales guidance, citing headwinds from changes in retail inventory levels.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading lower on Tuesday.</a>
The company reported third quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.83, beating the street view of $1.70. Quarterly revenues of $4.952 billion<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41446271/kimberly-clark-announces-third-quarter-2024-results-and-reaffirms-2024-profit-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener"> missed the analyst consensus of $5.048 billion.</a>
Quarterly sales were down 4%, with organic sales growth of 1% versus the prior year.
Kimberly-Clark&#8217;s quarterly adjusted gross margin was 36.7%, up 90 basis points versus the prior year, driven by strong gross productivity gains.
The company&#8217;s volume and mix were positive in Developed Markets (representing&nbsp;Australia,&nbsp;South Korea, and Western/Central Europe), offset by a decline in&nbsp;North America,&nbsp;while volumes in Developing and Emerging (D&amp;E) markets were in line with the year-ago period.

Quarterly adjusted operating profit increased by 5% despite an unfavorable impact of 4 percentage points from currency translation that was primarily driven by hyperinflationary economies.
Excluding currency impacts, growth in adjusted operating profit reflected gross productivity gains, relatively neutral&nbsp;pricing net of cost inflation, supply chain related investments, as well as planned increases in marketing, research and general expenses.
Personal Care sales were $2.6 billion, down 2%, but organic sales in the segment grew 3% due to pricing actions in inflationary markets and better product mix, with volume steady across all markets.
Consumer Tissue sales were $1.5 billion, also down 2%, with segmental organic sales declining by 1%.
KCP sales fell 10% to $767 million due to divestitures and unfavorable currency effects.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $1.11 billion. Inventories as of quarter-end was $1.937 billion.
FY24 Outlook: The company expects organic net sales to grow by 3%-4%, down from a mid-single-digit rate, mainly due to changes in retail inventory levels. Reported net sales will still be negatively affected by 400 basis points from currency translation and 120 basis points from divestitures.
Adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings per share are expected to grow at a mid-to-high teens percentage rate in constant currency.
Reported operating profit and reported earnings per share are now projected to be negatively impacted by about 650 basis points from currency translation, an improvement from the previous expectation of 700 basis points.
Price Action: KMB shares are trading lower by 5.12% to $136.83 premarket at last check Tuesday.

<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

McCormick &amp; Company, Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mkc#NYSE">MKC</a>) reported solid third-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein the top and bottom lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, and earnings increased year over year.

The momentum is expected to carry into the fourth quarter. In the Consumer segment, MKC recorded solid volume growth despite facing a challenging macroeconomic environment in China. Meanwhile, in the Flavor Solutions segment, sequential volume improvements were realized, driven by strong growth in Branded Foodservice.
Management continues to bolster its position across major markets and core categories by focusing on growth levers such as brand marketing, product and packaging innovation, category management and proprietary technology. The company expects its cost-saving initiatives to help fund future investments and drive operating margin expansion.

</div>
<h2>MKC&#39;s Quarterly Performance: Key Metrics and Insights</h2>
Adjusted earnings of 83 cents per share increased from 65 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The metric came above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 68 cents per share, representing a surprise of 22.1%. The year-over-year upside can be attributed to greater operating profit, the timing of a specific tax benefit and increased income from unconsolidated operations, fueled by robust performance from McCormick de Mexico, the company&#39;s largest joint venture.
This global leader in flavor generated sales of $1,679.8 million, flat year over year, including minimum impacts from currency movements. Impacts from the company&#39;s strategic decision to divest its canning business were offset by a 1% increase in volume backed by the Consumer segment, somewhat negated by pricing. The top line exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,664 million.
McCormick&#39;s gross profit margin expanded 170 basis points. The upside can be attributed to improved mix and cost savings from the Comprehensive Continuous Improvement&nbsp;program.
The adjusted operating income came in at $288 million, up 15% year over year, reflecting gross margin expansion and reduced SG&amp;A expenses.
<h2>Decoding MKC&#39;s Segmental Performance</h2>
Consumer: Sales remained flat year over year at $937.4 million, with a negligible impact on currency movements. Sales were hurt by a 1% decline from pricing actions, offset by 1% volume growth. Volume growth in the Americas and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (&quot;EMEA&quot;) regions was partly negated by declines in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC). Sales remained flat year over year in the Americas while moving up 3% in the EMEA region. Segment sales dipped 1% in the APAC.
Flavor Solutions: Sales in the segment inched down 1% to $742.4 million. On a constant-currency basis, sales were flat year over year as a 1% rise in pricing was countered by the company&#39;s strategic move to sell off its canning business. Flavor Solutions&#39; sales in the Americas grew 2%. Flavor Solutions&#39; sales in the EMEA fell by 8%. Sales in the APAC market fell 1% year over year.
<h2>MKC&#39;s Financial Health Snapshot</h2>
McCormick exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $200.8 million, long-term debt of $3,343.1 million and total shareholders&#39; equity of $5,451 million. In the nine months ended Aug. 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $463.2 million.
<h2>What to Expect From MKC in 2024?</h2>
For fiscal 2024, McCormick is focused on strengthening its volume trends and prioritizing investments to fuel profits. The company&#39;s CCI and Global Operating Effectiveness programs are driving growth investments and operating margin expansion. Management anticipates currency movements to have a minimal impact on 2024 results.
For 2024, management expects sales to range between a 1% decline and 1% growth, including minimal currency impacts. The company anticipates witnessing a favorable impact of pricing actions undertaken in the prior year. Volume trends are likely to improve due to solid brands and targeted investments. However, its decision to discontinue the low-margin business and sell the canning business is likely to put some pressure on volume during 2024.
Management expects adjusted operating income to grow 4-6%, including minimal currency impacts. This is likely to be driven by gross margin expansion, somewhat offset by a major rise in brand marketing investments.
Management envisions 2024 adjusted EPS in the band of $2.85-$2.90, which suggests a 5-7% increase from the year-ago period, including minimal currency impacts. On a GAAP basis, McCormick projects 2024 earnings in the range of $2.81- $2.86 per share compared with the year-ago period figure of $2.52.
This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has rallied 17.2% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 8.8%.

Schneider Electric & Kimberly-Clark Announce Tax Credit Transfer Agreements To Advance Grid Resiliency

The FDA is addressing concerns about tampon safety following a 2024 study that discovered metals in tampons during laboratory testing.
Some of the tampon makers include Procter &amp; Gamble Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Edgewell Personal Care (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPC#NYSE">EPC</a>), and Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMB#NYSE">KMB</a>).
A&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412024004355" rel="noreferrer noopener">study</a> published in July&nbsp;found a variety of metals, including arsenic, &nbsp;cadmium, and lead, in more than&nbsp;a dozen brands of tampons.
The researchers said they evaluated the concentrations of 16 metal(loid)s in 30 tampons from 14 tampon brands and 18 product lines.
The FDA reassured the public that all tampons must meet strict safety and effectiveness requirements before they can be legally sold in the U.S. Tampon manufacturers are required to conduct thorough tests of their products and component materials throughout the manufacturing process.
This includes pre-market biocompatibility testing, which the FDA evaluates.
While the study identified the presence of metals in certain tampons, it did not examine whether these metals are released during use or absorbed by the vaginal lining, nor did it explore the potential for metals entering the bloodstream.
In response, the FDA has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-regulatory-science-research-programs-conducted-osel/biocompatibility-and-toxicology-program-research-medical-devices-biocompatibility-and-toxicology" rel="noreferrer noopener">launched</a> two initiatives to investigate the issue further.
<ul>
<li>First, the FDA has commissioned an independent review of the available literature on tampon safety. This review aims to enhance the agency&#8217;s understanding of existing data on the chemicals found in tampons and any associated health risks.</li>
<li>Second, the FDA has begun its internal laboratory study to measure how much metals are released from tampons under conditions mimicking typical use.</li>
</ul>
The findings from these studies will contribute to a comprehensive risk assessment of metal exposure from tampons. The FDA plans to share the results of its literature review and lab tests with the public once they have been peer-reviewed.
Additionally, the FDA emphasized that it will continue to monitor tampon safety as part of its total product lifecycle approach to medical devices.

In times of market volatility, consumer staples stocks offer a stable investment option due to their steady demand for essential goods. Therefore, fundamentally solid consumer goods stocks Procter & Gamble (PG), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) could add stability to your portfolio. Read on... Consumer staples provide stability during economic downturns, as demand for essential goods holds steady regardless of economic conditions. Consequently, investing in fundamentally strong consumer staples stocks may be a prudent choice for investors. These stocks have low beta values, which provide stability amid shifting market dynamics.
Investing in quality consumer staples stocks like Procter &amp; Gamble (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PG/">PG</a>), Colgate-Palmolive (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CL/">CL</a>), and Kimberly-Clark (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KMB/">KMB</a>) could be a wise choice for investors.

The CPI rose 0.2% monthly and 2.6% annually, meeting expectations.
Amid such volatility in the broader market, consumer staples provide a resilient anchor, as demand for essential goods remains unwavering and unaffected by financial shifts.

3 Consumer Staples Stocks for Stability in Volatile Markets

The consumer goods market is attractive now due to rising consumer confidence, potential rate cuts, and steady demand, offering stability amid economic shifts. Therefore, value-focused investors might consider consumer goods stocks like Kimberly-Clark (KMB), ACCO Brands (ACCO), and Ennis (EBF). Read more... Consumer resilience is on the rise, with confidence and spending power rebounding since early 2024. This shift is benefiting the consumer goods sector, as spending moves from cautious to intentional, with a focus on essential and value-driven purchases.
In this favorable landscape, frugal investors might consider fundamentally strong consumer goods stocks like Kimberly-Clark Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KMB/">KMB</a>), ACCO Brands Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ACCO/">ACCO</a>), and Ennis, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/EBF/">EBF</a>).
This December, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/major-brokerages-expect-25-bps-fed-rate-cuts-november-2024-11-07/">25 basis points</a>, potentially boosting the stock market by lowering borrowing costs and encouraging equity investments. This rate cut could foster a favorable environment for consumer goods firms, making it an opportune time to consider investments in this sector as demand rises.
Meanwhile, consumer sentiment reached a six-month high in November, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-110824/card/consumer-sentiment-climbs-to-highest-reading-in-half-a-year-TORvZB3mx18M3psVpkEO">rising to 73</a> from 70.5 in October, signaling increased confidence and potential for higher spending. With inflation expectations easing, the consumer goods market could see a boost from this renewed optimism and stronger product demand.
Furthermore, according to Statista, the consumer goods market is projected to reach $2.80 trillion in 2024, with an expected <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/io/manufacturing/consumer-goods/worldwide">CAGR of 1.19%</a> from 2024 to 2029. This sector could offer a stable investment choice, as companies in consumer goods generally experience consistent product demand, helping them sustain margins even in varying economic conditions.
Considering these conducive trends, let's analyze the fundamental aspects of the three <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/consumer-goods/">Consumer Goods</a> picks, beginning with the third choice.

S&amp;P 500 기업들 중 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">14%가 6월 분기 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 더 넓은 지수를 구성하는 기업들의 혼합 실적 성장률은 여전히 ​​양호하다. 이번 주에는 기술 보고 시즌이 공식적으로 시작될 것이며, 이는 최근 주에 가파른 하락세를 보인 시장의 향방을 잠재적으로 결정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 사건: 기술주의 실적 시즌은 지난주 칩 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩 N.V.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 실적 발표로 와만하게 시작되었다. 이 회사의 주가는 약한 3분기 전망과 중국 칩 금지를 둘러싼 지정학적 우려로 인해 약 16% 하락했다. 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)의 지침은 투자자들을 실망시켰지만 증권사 측 분석가들이 결과에 열광하면서 주가는 크게 하락하지 않았다.
투자자들은 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 모건 스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) 및 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) 등 나머지 대형 은행들의 실적 보고서에 환호했다. 투자 은행 사업의 반등과 강력한 트레이딩 매출이 은행들의 매출을 강화하는 데 도움이 되었다.
팩트셋(FactSet)의 최신 실적 전망 조사 <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">보고서</a>에 따르면 이들 기업 중 80%가 예상보다 높은 주당 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 5년 평균인 77%와 비교된다. 평균 상승 여력은 약 5.5%이지만, 이는 5년 평균 상승률 8.6%보다 낮다.
관련 정보: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">지금 가장 핫한 기술주</a>
실적 트렌드: 팩트셋에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 기업들의 2분기 혼합 실적 증가율은 현재 9.7%로 전주의 9.1%보다 높아진 것으로 추정된다. 이 추정치가 달성되면 분기 실제 성장률은 2021년 4분기 이후 보고된 전년 동기 대비 가장 높은 성장률을 기록할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 2분기 역시 4분기 연속 성장을 기록할 것으로 보인다.
S&amp;P 500 11개 부문 중 8개 부문이 전년 동기 대비 실적 성장을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 그 중 통신 서비스, 의료, IT, 금융 부문 4개 부문이 두 자릿수 실적 성장을 기록할 가능성이 높다. 반면, 소재 업종을 중심으로 3개 업종의 실적 감소가 예상된다.
이번 주의 이슈: 이번 주에는 다우 30 지수 구성요소 7개를 포함해 S&amp;P 500 기업 138개 기업들의 실적 보고서가 나올 것이라고 팩트셋의 보고서가 밝혔다. 이번 주의 실적 발표 목록에는 통신, 자동차, 철강, 칩, 주택 건설, 방위, 항공 및 기술 산업의 기업들이 포함된다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)은 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 지수에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있어 주목받는 기업들 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 전년 동기 대비 주당 순이익이 91센트에서 62센트로 급격히 감소할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 매출은 훨씬 완만하게 0.80% 감소한 247억 3천만 달러를 기록했을 수 있다. 이 이익성에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 일론 머스크의 회사가 어려운 수요 환경에서 생산량을 늘리기 위해 의존해 온 가격 인하에서 비롯된다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">분석가들과 펀드 매니저들은</a> 회사가 해당 분기에 양호한 납품 실적을 보고한 후 낙관적이다. 하반기에도 반전이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
알파벳의 실적은 AI를 활용한 거대 기업들 중 최초로 분기별 실적을 발표하는 기업이기 때문에 중요하며, 이는 나머지 기업들의 실적 속도를 정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 지수가 사상 최고치에서 후퇴하면서 주식시장이 큰 타격을 입었다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 나스닥 100 지수의 성과를 추적하는 지수인 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)는 금요일 0.89% 하락한 475.24달러에 마감했다. 이 ETF는 7월 10일에 도달한 502.96달러의 사상 최고치보다 낮게 거래되고 있다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)도 금요일 0.66% 하락한 548.99달러로 마감했다.
이번 주 주목할 만한 실적 발표 기업은 다음과 같다:
