The company was founded in 1959 and is headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico.

Kimberly-Clark de México SAB de CV (KCDMY) manufactures and commercializes disposable products.

Three key data points gauge KCDMY (or any dividend-paying entity):

(1) Price 

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

KCDMY Price

Kimberly-Clark de México’s single share price increased $1.99 (or about 22.3%) from $8.91 to $10.90 in the past year, per Friday’s mid-day market report.

No analysts cover the stock. So a one-year price target was not available on YCharts. However, three years of price history show an average  $0.663 annual price gain, which I’ll use to calculate returns after I discuss dividends.  

KCDMY Dividends

Kleenex Mex has paid quarterly dividends since April 1994, except for 2019 and 2022.  The most recent Q dividend of $016 is payable July 10 (to shareholders on record as of July 1) for an annual yield of 5.86% (per Friday’s closing market report.}

KCDMY Returns

Putting it all together, as of May 22, a possible gross gain of $1.30 was projected. The $0.663 per share annual gain was added to the $0.64 forward looking annual dividend.

A little under $1000 invested in KCDMY at Friday’s $10.90 closing share price would buy 92 shares, which multiply the $1.30 gross gain to $119.27 for the coming year, or 11.93%.

My dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a dividend stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of one share.

KCDMY’s annual dividend from $1K invested is $58.60. So KCDMY shows a dividend from $1,000 invested about 5.4 times its $10.90 single share price as of Friday.

The exact track of KCDMY’s future share price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.  

Remember, the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
