Consumer staples
CL vs KMB: pairs trade
Colgate-Palmolive (CL) is a maker of oral-care, personal-care and household products. Kimberly-Clark (KMB) is a maker of tissue and personal-care products. Consumer-staples stocks tend to move together because they sell everyday products with steady demand and share the same cost pressures, such as raw materials and freight. When the gap between them stretches unusually far, the model measures how far, and how long such gaps have typically taken to close.
