It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.04% from a day low at $134.14 to a day high of $136.87. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 7.01% over the past 2 weeks.

On Apr 23, 2025, it was reported that Piper Sandler gave KMB a "Overweight" grade with a "hold" action.

The stockhas broken the wide and falling short-term trend up. Firstly a slower falling rate is indicated, but this may very well be an early signal of a trend shift. On the reaction, there will be support on the roof of the current trend broken, which is $134.76, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $148.10 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

The Kimberly-Clark Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $130.36 and $129.22. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 31, 2025, and so far it has risen 9.68%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $130.64 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $2.73 (2.04%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.29%.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.
