Kimberly-Clark: Dividend Aristocrat With 5 Billion-Dollar Brands




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.
