Final Third Quarter and Nine Months results to be Released November 5, 2026 DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ: KMB) ("Kimberly-Clark"), a core S&P 500 component, today provided estimated preliminary financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2026, on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
