  • Kimberly-Clark Stock Hits 52-Week Low Following Deutsche Bank Downgrade
    March 31, 2026, 4:29 AM EDT. Kimberly-Clark (NASDAQ:KMB) plunged to a new 52-week low of $96.20 on Monday after Deutsche Bank cut its price target from $110 to $109, maintaining a hold rating. The move added pressure amid mixed analyst views, including Barclays' $102 target and Piper Sandler's lowered overweight rating with a $114 target. Citigroup's sell rating with a $90 target stands out. Trading volume reached over 2.7 million shares. Insider selling occurred, with VP Andrew Scribner offloading 3,049 shares at an average price of $104.29. Major institutional investors like Vanguard, State Street, and Charles Schwab slightly increased their stakes during the fourth quarter, indicating continued confidence despite recent price drops.
