Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) is preparing **** et sales to address EU antitrust concerns surrounding its planned $40 billion acquisition of Kenvue, according to Reuters. The company is reportedly seeking to offer remedies that could secure European Commission approval by the September 29 deadline, avoiding a more extensive four-month investigation. Similar regulatory concerns have already emerged in Australia, where the deal received conditional approval after Kimberly-Clark agreed to divest Kenvue's Carefree and Stayfree brands.
The transaction is strategically important because it would create a consumer-health and personal-care company with approximately $32 billion of annual revenue and $7 billion of adjusted EBITDA. Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) expects about $1.9 billion of annual cost synergies and $500 million of revenue synergies, although it expects to invest roughly $2.5 billion in cash to achieve the cost savings. Therefore, the scale of any EU divestitures will be critical to determining whether Kimberly-Clark can retain the expected economic benefits of the deal.
The strongest bullish argument is that Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) is actively working toward a regulatory solution rather than allowing the EU review to threaten the transaction. If the company can satisfy regulators through limited **** et sales, it could preserve the majority of Kenvue's revenue and earnings while moving ahead with the combination. The expected $1.9 billion in annual cost savings represents a substantial earnings opportunity relative to the combined company's roughly $7 billion adjusted EBITDA target, giving Kimberly-Clark significant potential to improve margins and cash generation after integration.
The Australian precedent also suggests that targeted divestitures could be sufficient to resolve competition concerns without materially undermining the broader deal. Securing EU approval by September 29 would be particularly positive because it would remove a major source of uncertainty and allow Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) to focus on integration and synergy execution. With Kenvue adding major brands across consumer health and personal care, successful completion could also broaden Kimberly-Clark's portfolio and reduce its reliance on its existing product categories.
The biggest risk is that the EU requires more substantial **** et sales than Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) currently expects. Giving up attractive Kenvue brands or businesses in Europe could reduce the revenue and EBITDA acquired through the transaction, while Kimberly-Clark would still have to bear much of the financing, transaction, and integration burden. That could make the $40 billion purchase price less attractive on a risk-adjusted basis, particularly if the divested **** ets are among Kenvue's stronger European businesses.

Several baby goats at a mobile petting zoo in North Carolina were infected with rabies, and authorities are asking anyone who had contact with the animals to reach out to health officials. Rabies can be deadly if people don't receive treatment before symptoms begin.
Residents in western North Carolina may have had contact with the infected goats from Farm Adventures at the mobile petting zoo's location in Harmony or at off-site events between July 28 and August 27, local officials said in a statement.
Farm Adventures is based in Iredell County and books events in surrounding communities, and officials say the owner has been cooperating with the investigation.
"There is not a broad risk to the public — only those who attended events at the mobile petting zoo and were in close contact with the goats are at risk," officials said, asking residents to call their local health department for a rabies risk ***** sment and potential treatment.
"Residents should not wait for symptoms before calling," Mecklenburg County Health Director Dr. Kimberly Scott said.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia prison officials plan to execute a man next month who was convicted of fatally shooting two real estate agents in Atlanta's suburbs more than two decades ago.
Stacey Humphreys, 53, was convicted of malice murder in the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown. He is set to receive a lethal injection at the state prison near Jackson at 7 p.m. on Sept. 16, according to the Department of Corrections.
Humphreys would be the first person executed in Georgia this year. The death penalty in the state has largely been tied up in litigation over an agreement related to the coronavirus pandemic that defense lawyers contend temporarily shields many death row residents from execution. The last execution in the state was in March 2024.
Humphreys was previously scheduled to die last December, but the execution was halted after his lawyers filed a petition asking a judge to order two members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to recuse themselves from hearing his clemency petition. Humphreys' lawyers argued that the two parole board members had conflicts of interest because they had played roles during his trial.
Kimberly McCoy, one of the board members, was a victim advocate with the Cobb County district attorney's office at the time of Humphreys' trial and was ****** igned to work with the victims in the case. The other, Wayne Bennett, was the sheriff in Glynn County, where the trial was moved because of pretrial publicity, and Humphreys' lawyers argued he oversaw security for the jurors and Humphreys himself during the case.

SUAMICO – Bay Port football coach Steven Jorgensen said before the season that he wished he could celebrate wins a little more and forget losses a little easier.
His team most certainly will celebrate for a day after its Week 2 victory.
Bay Port beat Kimberly 28-13 on Aug. 27, starting the season 2-0 for the first time since 2022 and finally ending its losing streak to the Papermakers and their fifth-year coach, Chad Michalkiewicz.
The Pirates had lost the last four meetings in the series, including being held to 14 or fewer points in each of the last three games. It's the only three contests since 2022 in which Bay Port has failed to score more than 14 points.
Michalkiewicz was 6-0 against Bay Port since the alternate spring season in 2021, winning the final two showdowns of his tenure at De Pere and his first four after being hired at Kimberly in 2022.

The family of a South East High School football player who died after suffering a brain injury during a game has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District, alleging the district failed to provide safe conditions.
Christopher Garcia, a 16-year-old junior varsity football player, suffered the injury in 2024 after making a defensive tackle during a game. Attorneys for the family on Tuesday released footage of the play.
The video shows Garcia tackling a receiver before his head struck the field. He was later placed into a medically induced coma and died 11 days later.
According to the lawsuit, Garcia's family alleges the district failed to provide "safe facilities, proper equipment, and adequate supervision," which they contend led to their son's death.
Garcia's sister, Kimberly Garcia, spoke on behalf of the family regarding the lawsuit they have filed.

Personal care products provider Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB)'s shares are down by 17% over the past year and are up by 9% year-to-date. It is currently undergoing a major transformation through acquiring Kenvue. Cramer has discussed Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB)'s acquisition several times and linked its performance with consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble. In his morning appearance on August 6th, the CNBC TV host discussed Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB)'s earnings and the tailwinds from the acquisition:
"I like the way Kimberly acted, even though they had a asterisk China diaper problem which I did not know about. The stock started down and then finished up nicely. I think that Chu is doing is a nice job. I think that Kenvue acquisition's going to be very good. Proctor was not as good, so I think that maybe you're going to start seeing, even though Proctor's much bigger than Kimberly, maybe we're going to have a new colossus."
On the 4th, Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) had reported its second quarter earnings to post $4.19 billion in revenue that missed **** yst estimates of $4.22 billion. Yet, the firm also cut its organic sales growth and earnings forecasts. Yet, the shares close 3.7% higher on the 4th, exhibiting solid momentum after the report hit the wires before market open.
Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB)'s business model, i.e., selling personal care products, is resistant in a tough economy as consumers continue to spend on its products even if they reduce discretionary spending. Cramer's previous comments about the firm have also noted this, but the firm's sluggish revenue performance in the second quarter opens up concerns about its growth. Additionally, turmoil in the oil market stemming from the Iran war and other factors can stress its margins. This stress, at a time when Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) might have to deal with high debt levels as well. Consequently, 15% of the float being short as of July-end is unsurprising.
On the other hand, the difference between Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) and Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is visible when we compare their forward P/E. While the former has a multiple of 14.93, the latter is valued better through a 20.9 multiple. Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)'s ability to sustain high prices courtesy of its brand strength and market share (60% in blades and razors and 45% to 50% in fabric) is one of its strongest suits. It enables the firm to deliver stable revenue growth, as evidenced by a 2% jump in its June quarter sales. Additionally, Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)'s stable defensive market lead it to commit to stable stock buybacks ($6 billion to $7 billion in FY27) and stable dividends (2.48% yield). Naturally, the P/E is higher, and the short interest is negligible at 1.17% of the float.

"Recently I bought this hat and gloves from the Diane Keaton auction. I'm so happy to have some of her iconic style with me," Williams-Paisley wrote on Instagram Friday, alongside photos of her wearing the items and channeling Keaton's signature style.
"While my friends and I were carefully unpacking these items and getting ready to shoot this, a gorgeous, gigantic bald eagle landed in a nearby tree, stayed for a moment and then flew off (see video). THIS IS SO RARE!! It definitely felt like Diane's energy was around us! The hat says, 'NO MORE WAR,' and she'd added a skull and crossbones. So, I'm passing along her message."
Keaton died of pneumonia in 2025 at the age of 79.

Donald Trump Jr. has bought his former fiancèe, Kimberly Guilfoyle, out of their shared Florida mansion, paying his ex $7.6 million for her portion of the sprawling waterfront property.
Trump, 48, and Guilfoyle, 57, purchased the Jupiter, FL, manse for $9.7 million in March 2021—just a few months after they got engaged.
However, in late 2024, the former couple quietly called off their engagement amid reports that Trump was in a new relationship with socialite Bettina Anderson, whom he wed in a private ceremony in the Bahamas in May of this year.
Following Trump and Guilfoyle's split, questions were quickly raised about what they planned to do with their shared home, with some sources suggesting in February that they were "quietly shopping" the property around, with a tentative asking price of $30 million, according to the New York Post.
But it seems Trump is not quite ready to let go of the opulent abode—so much so that he has forked over close to $8 million in order to buy his former fiancée's share of the property.

Gianni Infantino has called an emergency meeting of FIFA staff in Rabat on Wednesday following comments by ***** ne Wenger that ramped up the pressure on the president, the Press ***** ociation understands.
Former ***** nal manager Wenger, FIFA's chief of global football development, issued a statement saying he was "not involved" in the plan to seek private investment in a company to run the World Cup but that the decision to withdraw it was "absolutely necessary and beyond question".
PA understands the meeting in Morocco was called after the weekend and is also to include secretary general Mattias Grafstrom and the FIFA management board, which includes the organisation's chief of staff Daniel O'Toole, chief legal officer Emilio Garcia Silvero, chief of member ***** ociations Elkhan Mammadov, HR chief Kimberly Morris, media director Bryan Swanson and communications director David Farrelly.
Grafstrom, the second most senior figure in the organisation after Infantino, is also understood to have contacted FIFA staff addressing the "sad and reproachable series of events" of the last week "which thankfully concluded with the project being permanently abandoned".
The plan to create FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a company to run the commercial and operational aspects of FIFA's tournaments, first emerged in reports by The Times and the Financial Times last Tuesday, before FIFA issued confirmation of some of the details. The most controversial aspect was the idea to sell 20% of FFE to private investors.

Kimberly Guilfoyle's latest diplomatic stop is drawing attention for what she wore, not what she said.
The 57-year-old U.S. ambassador to Greece visited the Ormylia Monastery in Halkidiki on Thursday, July 30, according to a report from Greek City Times.
For the visit, she wore a fitted turquoise knee-length dress with a plunging neckline and pointed-toe stilettos. In a photo taken with a group of monks and nuns, who were covered from head to toe except for their faces and hands, Guilfoyle's outfit stood in stark contrast to the monastery's modest dress standards, making her appear notably underdressed.

"I was deeply moved to visit the Ormylia Foundation and Monastery this week," Guilfoyle said, per the outlet. "I met with their dedicated volunteers, including Abbot Elisaios, Dr. Doumas, Brother Charlie, and the remarkable Reverend Mother Nikodimi and her sisters. Their work healing bodies through the Medical Center's life-saving screenings and nurturing souls through faith is a beautiful example of compassion in action. I am grateful for the partnership between the United States and this extraordinary community."

The celebrity couple made every effort to keep their July 3, 2026, ceremony private, only stirring up even more public intrigue.

"They were very clear with the invite," the 53-year-old told the **** ociated Press over the weekend, reflecting on the weight of the celebration. "And I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite it said, 'If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us.'"
"They were like, 'We can tell you roughly where it's going to be. We're not going to say what building, and here's the date, and if you're in, we'll tell you more.'" Paisley recalled.

Brad Paisley is sharing his amusement at the mystery surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's tightly guarded wedding plans.
"I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, 'If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,'" the country singer told the ***** ociated Press in an interview released July 17. He attended the July 3 wedding at New York City's Madison Square Garden with his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley – alongside hundreds of high-profile guests.
The elaborate security and logistics behind the celebration left invited guests guessing.
"And it was really fun to watch the cat-and-mouse game of like, 'We can tell you roughly where it's gonna be. We're not gonna say what building. … And here's the date, and if you're in, we'll tell you more,'" Paisley explained. "I went to my wife, I said, 'Want to go?' She's like, 'Absolutely. We've gotta be there.' So we did it. It was RSVP yes."
Swift's strategy appears to have worked. More than two weeks later, there have been no photo leaks, and most guests have remained tight-lipped after signing non-disclosure agreements. American Century Investments CEO Jonathan Thomas said on the July 17 episode of "The Compound and Friends" podcast that he "won't get into the details of the NDA, but it had teeth."

As of market close on July 7, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) are up 9.6% and 11.1% year to date (YTD), respectively, and hovering around all-time highs. The tech sector -- which makes up 38% of the index -- is largely responsible for the strong gains because it is up 24.5% YTD.
However, some noteworthy value stocks are doing even better than the tech-heavy S&P 500.

Earlier this year, Kimberly-Clark raised its dividend for the 54th consecutive year, retaining its spot on the list of Dividend Kings, which have at least 50 consecutive years of dividend increases.
