KVUE · NYSE · Consumer

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

56

out of 100

Kenvue Inc. is a mature, stable business: it earns money solidly (net margin 10.6%) but grows slowly (0.4% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 56 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +0.4%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Kenvue is Johnson & Johnson's former consumer division: Tylenol, Listerine, Neutrogena, Band-Aid. Brands found in every medicine cabinet on earth, now forced to prove they can grow alone, without the pharma giant's umbrella.

What will shape its future

  • Reviving mature brands: decades of leadership guarantee no growth.
  • Inherited litigation (Tylenol, talc), the legal shadow accompanying it.
  • Private-label pressure in categories where the generic is identical.
