Kimberly-Clark (NYSE:KMB) exceeded profit expectations in Q1 but fell short on revenue due to pricing pressure and supply chain costs. Adjusted earnings were $1.93 per share, beating the $1.90 forecast. However, revenue dropped to $4.84 billion, missing estimates by 6%. Organic sales fell 1.6% year-over-year, with pricing down 1.5%.
