What Could Restrict the Upside in Kimberly-Clark Stock?

What Could Restrict the Upside in Kimberly-Clark Stock?

Shares of Kimberly Clark (KMB) have recovered a bit recently, as you can see in the graph below. The company’s decision to raise net pricing in the North American consumer product business is an encouraging move, likely to help the company offset the negatives stemming from continued inflation in raw material prices. Moreover, most of the company’s peers—including Procter & Gamble (PG), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), and Clorox (CLX)—are also raising prices to offset the impact of input cost headwinds.
