Kimberly-Clark Stock Heads for Biggest One-Day Drop Since Black Monday -- WSJ

Dow Jones
Nov 04

Kimberly-Clark shares were on track for their biggest one-day drop since the 1980s after the Huggies diapers maker agreed to buy Kenvue. Shares in the Tylenol maker leapt.

In recent trading:

-- Kimberly-Clark's stock fell nearly 13% to $104.57.

-- If it holds those losses, that will be its worst one-day percentage drop since Oct. 19, 1987-the day of the Black Monday stock-market crash-when it slid by one-quarter.

-- Kenvue shares jumped as much as one-fifth on Monday morning, marking their largest intraday percentage increase on record.

-- That's based on data back to 2023, when Kenvue spun off from Johnson & Johnson.
