KMB (KMB)
KMB is flagged as AVOID because despite appearing cheap on valuation, the stock is trading far above its calculated floor, offering no compelling entry point.
- Current PE of 18.1 sits at the 22.9th percentile, labeled cheap, yet the stock is 118.9% above its buyzone target, meaning it would need a severe drop to reach an attractive entry.
- The stock trades at $101.70, only 2.2% above its dividend-based floor of ~$100.71, leaving minimal margin of safety relative to historical downside support.
- Volatility is high (IV rank 82.9%), and the valuation floor warning indicates the current price already reflects cheaper-than-extreme historical levels, reducing the likelihood of near-term upside.
BUY-ZONE DECISION rule signal

VALUATION
KMB appears cheap on a forward basis, with a Forward P/E of 12.9x and PEG of 1.17 supporting fair value relative to 11% earnings growth, but the Trailing P/E at the 23rd percentile highlights current undervaluation against historical norms. The market is not pricing in growth, as the low Forward P/E and PEG near 1 suggest a margin of safety if earnings materialize. The biggest risk is the -1% revenue decline, which could erode earnings growth and undermine the cheap valuation if top-line pressures persist.
Floor Engine
method skipped: stock is already pricing CHEAPER than its 5-year extreme — current PE 13.4× vs historical 5th-pct 14.4×. The PE-percentile formula gives 14.4× × EPS = 109.11, which is ABOVE the current price 101.70, making it a mean-reversion target (where the stock could rally TO), not a downside floor (where buyers would step in).

FAQ
Why does KMB show different P/E numbers on different sites?
Different data providers use different earnings windows (TTM vs forward, GAAP vs adjusted) and update at different cadences. We surface trailing P/E with a 5-year percentile rank to give context — a P/E of 30 is hot for one stock and cold for another.
Does this page show KMB's implied volatility?
Not on this v0 page — the dedicated volatility tool covers IV with multi-source voting (IBKR + Polygon + yfinance). For pure IV lookup, use /tools/volatility. This page is for decision-stage queries that pull together valuation + portfolio context.
How is this different from Yahoo Finance or 雪球's KMB page?
Those sites are great for raw data discovery — last price, news, headline P/E. This page is built for the second look: you've already seen a single-dimension signal somewhere else, now you need multi-dimensional decision context (your floor, the valuation percentile, your portfolio overlay) in one view, not five tabs.
