What the filing says
KMB reported Q2 2026 net sales of $4.2B (+0.6% YoY), with adjusted operating profit of $757M (+6.2%) and adjusted EPS of $1.80 (+10.4%). A social media disruption in China regarding false diaper quality allegations reduced Q2 organic sales by ~50 bps and is expected to impact near-term sales/profits further; adjusted for ~100 bps total company headwind in 2026 outlook. KMB advanced its Kenvue acquisition (pending year-end close), launched a Suzano joint venture (Arbex), and announced a sustainable-materials pilot plant in the U.S., while reducing debt from $7.2B to $6.5B year-to-date.
Why this rating
China disruption is real but ~50–100 bps headwind; Kenvue deal on track but integration risk ahead. Modest relative to $42.8B market cap.
