We recently published a list of 10 Buzzing Stocks After Latest Earnings Season. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) stands against other buzzing stocks after latest earnings season.

Markets were cheering the latest US-China trade deal, after which the two countries will significantly reduce tariffs on each other’s imports for 90 days. The deal practically negates all bear cases modeled by Wall Street analysts based on the impact of tariffs.

Sylvia Jablonski, Defiance ETFs CEO and CIO, called the deal a “game changer” during a program on CNBC.

“I think both countries probably saw a little bit of the demise of what would be here with a non-tariff deal as the data came in. You had a lot of complaints around China across all sectors and then in the US, retailers were reaching out to President Trump and saying that shelves are empty and, you know, a lot of panic about semiconductor software companies. I think that this is really a game changer for both countries, and the big message here is that both countries, it sounds like, decided that they really don’t want to decouple, and, you know, make America great might also mean that, you know, China stays.”

Jim Cramer was recently asked about Kimberly-Clark. Here is what he said:
