Estoy entre KMB y RB para incorporar a mi cartera (ya llevo PG), cuál consideráis más optima a largo plazo? En principio me había decantado por KMB pero con la idea de intentar diversificar geográficamente surge la posibilidad de RB.
En fin, que a ver si aportáis algún dato que me haga decantarme por una o por otra ya que me gustan mucho ambas.
Hola
Creo que KMB está en máximos o casi. Sin entrar en más análisis. El precio tan alto es de poco para acá, un mes o así. Por algún sitio leí que su precio objetivo podía estar en 138 pero no sé…
Y luego estudiarla un poco con estos tiempos…
Pues efectivamente,
De aquel furor por el papel higiénico vienen estos lodos. Así que nada, ya he visto que algunos habéis aprovechado. Buena idea… .Esta semana a lo mejor me animo también, si llego a tiempo…
La caída de la demanda de papel higiénico provoca la peor caída de las ventas de Kimberly-Clark en una década
Las ventas en el segmento de tejidos de consumo cayeron más rápidamente de lo esperado por la compañía y las interrupciones en la cadena de suministro afectaron negativamente; es probable que haya más aumentos de precios
Por si te sirve de algo. Síntesis rápida y resumida que hago de primer filtro antes de seguir investigando.
El precio objetivo es orientativo, al ser de calidad 2 en mi escala de 0 a 3, le asigno un margen del -15% sobre el valor razonable.
