The S&P 500 Index continues to recover off of its
52-week lows with an impressive rally over the past several weeks. For the
year, the S&P 500 is (somewhat amazingly) down just 3%. But the investing
climate is by no means clear. The U.S. officially entered a recession in
February, and the coronavirus crisis is not yet over.
In times of economic uncertainty, high-quality dividend
growth stocks become even more valuable. This is why we continue to favor the
Dividend Aristocrats, a group of 65 stocks in the S&P 500 Index with 25+
consecutive years of dividend increases.
Kimberly-Clark (KMB) is a Dividend Aristocrat that has
increased its dividend each year, for more than 40 years in a row. The
company’s strong brand portfolio has had a very large impact on the company’s
ability to grow its profits (and dividends) for so many years.
This article will delve more deeply into Kimberly-Clark’s 5
billion-dollar brands, as well as the company’s future growth outlook and
whether the stock is a buy today.
