Dividend calendar and today

Kimberly-Clark shares are trading ex-dividend following an early September cutoff, with a scheduled cash dividend of USD 1.280 per share to be paid on October 2, 2026, based on an ex-dividend date of September 4, 2026, according to StockAnalysis. That recent ex-dividend date means income investors now look ahead to the October payment while price action reflects the dividend adjustment already made in early September. As of early September 9, 2026, no fresh company-specific releases or scheduled earnings are highlighted in major calendars for Kimberly-Clark over the next few trading days, so the stock today is likely to be guided mainly by sector sentiment, consumer staples positioning and broader market dynamics.
