Kimberly-Clark Guidance Reiterated as Sales Slip, Bond Sale Planned. Kimberly‑Clark confirmed its full‑year guidance even though recent sales were weaker than expected, which analysts at UBS said could help keep the stock stable. The company is also preparing a bond issuance to fund its planned purchase of a Tylenol‑making business. Shares have fallen about 13% and are trading near a long‑standing support level, while the dividend growth streak faces pressure. The mixed performance of consumer stocks and the stock’s inclusion in dividend‑focused lists add further context.

HSY faces higher candy costs and mixed analyst outlook
Seasonal candy prices have risen sharply, which could pressure Hershey's margins as Halloween demand climbs. Analysts have adjusted price targets lower, with JP Morgan and TD Cowen maintaining neutral or buy views while reducing their forecasts. The company's dividend yield of about 2.5% keeps it in focus among defensive dividend stocks.
