I maintain a sell rating on Kimberly-Clark due to weak consumer spending and expected underperformance in OSG and earnings growth versus management guidance. KMB's 1% OSG in 3Q24 was driven by inflationary pricing, not volume growth, indicating weak underlying demand. Management's FY24 guidance for 3-4% OSG and mid-to-high teens EPS growth appears overly optimistic given current market conditions.
