Sales at Kimberly-Clark Corp., the seller of Scott and
Cottonelle toilet paper and Kleenex, jumped to slightly more than
$5 billion in the recent quarter as consumers stockpiled paper
products.
Sales at the personal-care company rose more than 8% from a year
ago. Analysts were expecting sales of $4.86 billion, according to
FactSet. Kimberly-Clark said consumers stocking up on products
boosted all of its segments and main geographies.
Consumers, spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic, have rushed to buy
goods like toilet paper, pressuring those products' suppliers.
The company's net income climbed 45% to $660 million.
Kimberly-Clark's earnings were $1.92 a share, up from $1.31 a
share. Adjusted earnings were $2.13 a share. Analysts' expected
$1.98 a share.
Kimberly-Clark is also temporarily suspending its guidance as a
result of the pandemic, Chief Executive Mike Hsu said in prepared
remarks.
