The period balance: money in, money out
Across the Form 4 filings submitted between Nov 3, 2025 and Aug 4, 2026, Kimberly-Clark Corporation open-market activity adds up to 2 purchases worth $1.1M and 4 sales worth $1.0M. The net balance is $73k on the buy side.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A buying balance like Kimberly-Clark Corporation's is the less common case in the S&P 500: its insiders are already paid in stock and still put in their own money. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

Month by month
By the month the trade was executed, not the month it was filed; months with no trades show zero. The busiest month was Feb 2026: 1 purchase and 1 sale, worth $1.4M. 12 of the 15 months have none. 1 trade was executed before the window opens and filed late: it is in the history and in the tables above, but falls outside this calendar.

How to read this data
None of the 4 sales in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. Kimberly-Clark's 2 open-market purchases (code P) are the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from Aug 4, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
17 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
