Description: KVUE Kenvue September 29, 2025
Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) is a global consumer-health company headquartered in Summit, New Jersey, operating across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. The firm was spun out of Johnson & Johnson in 2022 and now trades as a standalone public company.
The business is organized into three product-centric segments:
- Self-Care: Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and wellness items such as cough, cold, allergy, pain, digestive health, smoking-cessation and eye-care products. Core brands include Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Nicorette, Zarbee’s, ORS™, Rhinocort, Calpol and Zyrtec.
- Skin Health & Beauty: Personal-care and cosmetics ranging from facial and body moisturizers to hair and sun-care. Flagship names are Neutrogena, Aveeno, Dr.Ci:Labo, Le Petit Marseillais, Lubriderm, Rogaine and OGX.
- Essential Health: Oral-care, infant-care, women’s health, wound-care and related categories, anchored by Listerine, Johnson’s, Band-Aid, Stayfree, o.b., Carefree and Desitin.
In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2023), Kenvue reported net sales of roughly $15.9 billion, with the Self-Care segment contributing about 55 % of total revenue and delivering an adjusted EBITDA margin near 19 %. The Skin Health & Beauty segment grew at a 5-6 % compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past three years, driven by premium-price positioning and expanding e-commerce penetration.
Key macro-drivers for Kenvue include: (1) steady demand for OTC therapeutics, which the IQVIA OTC market size is projected to exceed $45 billion globally by 2027; (2) inflation-sensitive pricing dynamics, as higher input costs compress margins unless offset by brand-strength pricing power; and (3) shifts in consumer health behavior post-pandemic, with a measurable uptick in self-care spending that outpaces overall retail growth (≈3 % annual excess). These factors collectively shape the firm’s earnings outlook and valuation multiples relative to the broader Personal Care Products sub-industry.
