What is Kimberly-Clark's forward P/E?

Kimberly-Clark's forward P/E is 14.67: today's price over the analysts' average EPS estimate for the next twelve months, the earnings expected rather than those reported. By fiscal year, it trades at 14.6 times its FY2026 earnings and 14.7 times its FY2027 earnings.

What is Kimberly-Clark's PEG ratio?

Kimberly-Clark's PEG ratio is 1.06: its P/E of 10.92 over the 10.4% a year the analysts expect its earnings per share to grow from FY2025 to FY2027. Around 1 is often read as a P/E in line with the growth; above it, the price asks for more.

Kimberly-Clark P/E ratio

Kimberly-Clark's P/E ratio is 10.92: its share price of 108.45 over its earnings per share of 9.93 over the last twelve months.

Today: 10.92
Forward P/E, next 12 months: 14.67
PEG ratio: 1.06
Median, 5 years: 22.42
Low, 5 years: 10.92
High, 5 years: 27.60

P/E ratio = price ÷ EPS (last 12 months) = 108.45 ÷ 9.93 = 10.92

Each day's closing price over the earnings per share of the last four quarters reported by that day (basic EPS, adjusted for splits). The P/E moves with the price every day and with the earnings at each report.

The forward P/E divides the price by the analysts' average EPS estimate for the next twelve months: the fiscal year in progress for the months left in it, the next one for the rest. For past days it uses each year's latest estimate, as the estimates of the time were not recorded (we keep a daily copy from November 2026), so the past line reads the price against the earnings expected by the time each year was reported.

Is Kimberly-Clark's P/E high compared with its own history?

Kimberly-Clark's P/E of 10.9 is near the bottom of its 5-year range (10.9 to 27.6, median 22.4). It is within 5% of its 5-year low. Analysts do not expect slower growth than in recent years, so it is cheaper than its usual level.

Each line is the earnings per share of the day times one P/E of the last five years: the price near the top line is near the most it was paid for those earnings, near the bottom line the least.

A P/E is compared with the stock's own last five years, not with other companies. Why the market pays more or less (news, rates, the sector) is not in these figures.
