Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:

Linked here is a PDF copy of my detailed analysis of Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB) (alt.1, alt.2). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:

Company Description: This leading consumer products company's global tissue, personal care and health care brands include Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex, Depend, Kleenex, Scott and Kimberly-Clark.

Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:

Avg. High Yield Price
20-Year DCF Price
Avg. P/E Price
Graham Number

KMB is trading at a discount to 1.) and 3.) above. If I exclude the high and low valuation and average the remaining two, KMB is trading at a 5.9% premium. KMB had a Star deducted for trading at a premium in excess of 5%.
