美国面纸和个人护理用品制造商金佰利(KMB)在周二盘前大跌5.01%,引发市场广泛关注。公司在当天发布的第三季度财报显示,由于注重成本的消费者纷纷放弃价格较高的个人护理用品转向更实惠的替代品,导致公司本季销售额未达预期。
金佰利在财报中表示,尽管美国通胀从高峰已有所回落,但过去两年各类商品价格持续上涨,令消费者支出放缓。面对成本上升压力,消费品公司普遍将产品价格大幅提高,导致消费者转而选择更实惠的自有品牌产品。
公司第三季度总销量与去年同期基本持平,但价格上涨1%。根据LSEG数据,第三季度调整后每股获利1.83美元,虽高于分析师预期的1.7美元,但公司仍下调了全年有机销售增长预期,从此前预计的中个位数百分比降至3%至4%。当季销售额49.5亿美元,低于预期的50.5亿美元。
