Financial Risks
Kenvue faces risks from competitive pressure, including private label brands and generics. Dependence on key retailers and e-commerce challenges are also noted. Product liability concerns, including lawsuits and potential recalls, are significant. Restructuring costs and potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets are also risks. Inflation, interest rate fluctuations, and currency exchange rate volatility pose further challenges. Legal proceedings and tax liabilities are also significant risks.
Financial Upside
Kenvue has a strong brand portfolio with iconic brands. Organic growth is anticipated, particularly in the Essential Health segment, driven by product innovation and promotions. Supply chain optimization initiatives are expected to improve margins. The company's global scale and digital-first approach offer potential for expansion. The 2024 Multi-Year Restructuring Initiative, while costly, aims to optimize cost structure and position Kenvue for future growth.
