Kimberly-Clark Expects Consumer Focus on Value to Continue -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-28

1329 ET - Kimberly-Clark doesn't expect consumers' focus on value to change anytime soon, according to Chief Operating Officer Russell Torres on a call with analysts. Like other categories, consumer demand has shifted across channels, Torres says. Shoppers are looking for different pack sizes, and purchase frequency has shifted, especially internationally and in developing markets, leading to choppier month-to-month consumption data, Torres says. The company has focused on offering a more competitive value proposition and making strategic investments in pack sizes as a result, he says. "I really think our mantra has been to meet consumers where they need us," Torres says. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
