Kimberly-Clark Corporation: What Is Their New Operating Model And Will It Impact The Bottom-Line?

Kimberly-Clark Corporation showed an optimistic performance in its first quarter for 2024, which was driven by its strategy to elevate its categories with breakthrough innovation and expand its markets. This strategy helps the company to navigate effectively through the ever-changing external dynamics of today’s new normal. There were noted improvements in volume, and the company expressed confidence about the underlying volume momentum in the business. However, a point to consider is that there was a retail inventory reduction in the quarter, negatively impacting the overall volume figures. The company felt this action by retailers was typical, and such behaviour was seen every year.
