Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB) stock: Winston Score and insider trades

Kimberly-Clark makes everyday paper-based products that people use at home and in hospitals. Its most famous brands include Huggies diapers, Kleenex tissues, Scott paper towels, and Cottonelle toilet paper. The company sells to regular consumers through grocery stores and big retailers like Walmart, as well as to businesses and healthcare facilities. Kimberly-Clark earns money by selling these products directly to retailers and distributors, who then sell them to shoppers. It operates in over 175 countries, generating roughly $20 billion in annual revenue, with meaningful sales in North America, Latin America, and Asia. Its moat comes from strong brand recognition and the fact that people buy these products repeatedly out of habit. The main risk the company faces is competition from cheaper store-brand alternatives and rising costs for raw materials like pulp and plastic, which can squeeze profit margins if the company cannot raise prices fast enough.
