Big Paper Showdown: Kimberly-Clark Vs WestRock
Paper. It’s a boring product everyone takes for granted. Yet, it’s an essential aspect of our daily lives. From napkins and takeout boxes, to Amazon packaging and notebooks.
Today, I want to review two major players in the paper game.
Kimberly-Clark Corporation, the Coca-Cola of paper goods. And WestRock Company, a major paper producer with big potential.
Let’s dive in and examine both!
Kimberly-Clark Corporation ($KMB): The Steady Consumer Staple
Kimberly-Clark Corporation is an interesting business because it makes generic paper products like napkins and toilet paper. But, the company also has their own lines of in-house, branded goods.
In fact, you’re probably familiar with many of their products. Including: Kleenex, Cottonelle, and Huggies.
Kimberly-Clark is also a popular dividend stock due to its recognizable products and dependable nature. The company has grown their dividend for over 50 years. And offers a starting yield of 3.26%.
