DBS Sticks to Their Hold Rating for Kimberly Clark (KMB)Maintain Hold with TP of US$145. Kimberly-Clark's share price has rallied by 15% YTD, largely reflecting the stronger-than-expected EPS in 1H24 driven by margin expansion from productivity gains. However, the potential for tepid top-line growth and decelerating EPS growth in 2H24 leads us to maintain our HOLD rating, with a TP of US$145, based on 19x FY25F PE, aligned with its five-year historical mean PE.
