China diaper disruption expected to hurt second half by ~200 bps
Kimberly-Clark delivered a solid Q2 on the bottom line driven by a $45 million tariff refund and productivity, but organic growth missed by 100bps due to the China diaper disruption and retailer destocking in North America. Management provided a cautious full-year outlook, assuming the China issue persists, while highlighting strong innovation and the launch of a new alternative fiber program. Organic growth missed internal expectations by ~100bps in Q2, driven by China diaper disruption and a ~170bps gap between shipments and consumption in North America.
