Kimberly-Clark Q2 FY2026: flat sales, $1.04 GAAP EPS, low-single-digit EPS outlook
Kimberly-Clark's second quarter looks calm on the surface — sales of $4.19 billion, up 0.6% — but the engine underneath is uneven. Organic sales slipped 0.1%, GAAP EPS fell 32.2% to $1.04, and adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $1.80 came in below the $2.03 consensus estimate. What genuinely improved was margin and cash: adjusted gross margin rose 190 basis points and the quarter produced $908 million of free cash flow.
