Kimberly-Clark Stock Has Risen 10.5% since Its Q2 2018 Earnings

As of August 15, shares of Kimberly-Clark (KMB) have risen 10.5% since its second-quarter results on July 24. The primary reason for the recovery in the stock price is the anticipated increase in net selling prices. Kimberly-Clark’s management stated during the second-quarter conference call that it plans to increase pricing to offset the pressure on margins from continued inflation in commodity prices, including pulp.
