The “Chart of the Day” is Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB), which showed up on Tuesday’s list of stocks that had a new “Buy” signal from the Barchart “Trendspotter” trading system. Kimberly-Clark on Tuesday rallied by +0.54% and posted a new 3-week high. A rally above the record high of $67.24 recently posted on Sep 20 would be a particularly bullish technical signal. KMB has rallied despite news on Sep 8 of the company saying that 2010 EPS will likely to be toward the lower end of 2010 guidance of $4.80-5.00 and of a downgrade by Credit Suisse on Sep 24 to Neutral from Outperform due to concerns about valuation and higher pulp costs. Kimberly-Clark, with a market cap of $27 billion, is a major consumer products company with brands in tissue, personal care and health care.
