Kimberly-Clark forecast a decline in third-quarter sales and backed its outlook for the year, following a social-media firestorm in China over the company's diapers this past summer.

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. Considering these preliminary results, Kimberly-Clark's outlook for 2026 remains consistent with previous expectations; specifically: 2026 Organic Sales Growth to be approximately 100 basis points below its weighted average category growth in the categories and countries it competes.

KMB maintains resilient volume-and-mix performance amid slowing category growth, supported by productivity gains, product innovation and market-share wins.
