Kimberly-Clark's 54-year streak of raising its dividend each year is under pressure. The company's free cash flow (cash from operations minus spending on buildings and equipment) only narrowly covered the dividend last year, and the planned acquisition of Kenvue will add a large amount of debt that further squeezes funding for the payout.
Kimberly-Clark filed an 8-K on October 15, 2026 with preliminary Q3 2026 results and reaffirmed its full year 2026 outlook. The company expects organic sales to grow about 100 basis points (1 percentage point) below its ~1.7% weighted average category growth, citing roughly 100 bps of drag from China social media disruptions, with adjusted operating profit guided to grow mid-single digits and adjusted EPS from continuing operations guided to grow high single digits on a constant-currency basis. Final Q3 2026 results are scheduled for November 5, 2026, and the outlook excludes any impact from the pending Kenvue acquisition.
Kimberly-Clark shared preliminary third-quarter 2026 results, keeping its full-year outlook unchanged, while repeating that China social media disruptions will reduce total-company sales growth by about 1 percentage point for the year. The company also reported roughly 1.7% weighted average category growth over the trailing 12 months and confirmed final Q3 numbers will be released November 5, 2026.
Kimberly-Clark released estimated preliminary results for the third quarter of 2026 and kept its full-year outlook unchanged, expecting organic sales growth (sales growth excluding currency effects and acquisitions) to come in about 1 percentage point below the weighted average growth rate of the product categories and countries where it competes.
