I upgraded Kimberley-Clark from sell to hold, as the market has likely priced on the downside, keeping valuation rangebound. KMB's Q4 sales fell 0.8% y/y, with organic sales growth at 2.3%, but only 0.7% excluding hyperinflationary markets. I remain skeptical about KMB's ability to meet FY25 guidance due to limited pricing power and challenges in volume growth.
The market's recent volatility highlights the irrationality of short-term movements, making high-yield dividend aristocrats attractive for stable, long-term returns. High-yield aristocrats offer an average yield of 5.3%, significantly higher than the S&P and other high-yield ETFs. They also have solid growth prospects. These top 10 aristocrats are undervalued by 18%, providing a 29% upside potential within 12 months and 11.9% CAGR long-term returns.
Kimberly-Clark's Q4 2024 and full fiscal year results earlier this week were a non-event for the market. The release, however, raises some red flags for 2025 and beyond with GAAP margins expected to remain under pressure. Returning cash to shareholders seems to be a priority for KMB's management which in my view is a problem for long-term shareholders.
