A1

Kimberly-Clark faces $150-170 million in incremental input costs in H2 2026 if oil stays at $100/barrel, but is confident in offsetting via productivity and pricing, signaling to the market that current margins are resilient.

Доказательства
“If we look into the back half of the year, and we assume that oil prices remain at around $100 per barrel on average, we would be facing potentially gross incremental input costs of around $150 to $170 million.”
