Academic risk and quality models computed from KMB's own filings and price history, not from analyst opinion.

Altman Z above the 2.99 safe threshold, so the model puts bankruptcy risk in its lowest band.
Beneish M below the -1.78 flag threshold, so the earnings-manipulation model finds nothing unusual in the accruals and margin trends.
Share of earnings coming from accruals rather than cash. Higher values historically precede weaker future returns.
Hidden Markov model fitted to two years of returns, separating bull, bear and sideways states by their own drift and volatility.
GARCH(1,1) 30-day annualised forecast, above the current 21.9% reading.
Fama-French 5-factor market beta. The five factors explain 17% of this stock's return variance; the rest is idiosyncratic.
The stock’s own historical valuation anchor, which is a fairer comparison than a sector average for a company with a persistent premium or discount.
