Where KMB stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the October 15, 2026 close, KMB finished 1.25% below its 150-day moving average ($100.67) and 0.99% below its 200-day moving average ($100.40). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is KMB overbought or oversold?
At the October 15, 2026 close, KMB's RSI(14) was 58.2, in neutral territory (between 30 and 70). The MACD histogram was positive, so short-term momentum leaned bullish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, KMB has $956.0M in cash with $6.54B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. The company generates $941.1M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 104.9% points to exceptionally high capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. Return on assets of 10.2% further supports the picture of efficient asset utilization. Revenue has pulled back from $20.18B (2022) to $16.45B (2025), a 18% decline worth watching.
The relatively low beta of 0.28 suggests KMB is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Kimberly-Clark Corporation's trajectory.
