Kimberly-Clark Corp (KMB)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is organized into operating segments based on product groupings. These operating segments have been aggregated into four reportable global business segments: Personal Care; Consumer Tissue; K-C Professional & Other; and Health Care.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

as much as this stock is a long term favorite, there are no new outstanding products that I can see on the horizon. Baby diapers? this is a tough business, but the world is expanding and people do need toilet paper!

I even named my daughter (using their initials, "K_C"), because I had trouble coming up with a name (for nine-months), so I took the simple-way out.........I was standing in a public restroom, washing my hands, and reached for the paper towels. That's when the light-bulb went on! I saw the name, "Kimberly-Clark", printed on the paper towel holder and the rest is history.....(YES, it happened just like that and just that easy!), lol.

Through these rough times for equities, they have consistently held above the S & P. Considering it is within a dollar of its 52-week low, I think it is a good time to buy.
