Kimberly-Clark Shares Climb 0.88% as Trading Volume Plummets 41% to 471st Market Rank

On August 13, 2025, Kimberly-Clark (NASDAQ: KMB) closed with a 0.88% gain, trading at a daily volume of $250 million—ranking 471st in market activity. The stock’s modest rise occurred despite a 41.19% decline in trading volume compared to the previous day, reflecting mixed investor activity in the session.

The company announced its participation in the Barclays 18th Annual Global Consumer Staples Conference on September 3, where Chairman and CEO Mike Hsu, President Russ Torres, and CFO Nelson Urdaneta will present. The event is expected to highlight strategic priorities and operational updates, potentially influencing investor sentiment ahead of key earnings or guidance timelines.

A backtest of a high-volume trading strategy revealed a 3.77% return from 2022 to the present by holding the top 500 stocks by daily volume for one day. This outperformed a broad market baseline of the same return, though the strategy’s reliance on liquidity metrics carries risks tied to market volatility and liquidity shifts. The results underscore the importance of volume as a proxy for short-term market participation but caution against overreliance on single-factor approaches.
