Investor Insights

Kenvue (KVUE-N) has recently garnered attention for its resilience amidst economic pressures, especially given its positioning within the consumer staples sector. As consumer staples generally demonstrate less volatility compared to other sectors, Kenvue and similar companies are expected to show more stability in earnings, which could only retract modestly in adverse conditions. The presence of an activist investor suggests potential for growth and strategic shifts, despite the firm's stock performance being tempered this year, with only a 6% increase since its spin-off from J&J. While costs are likely to rise due to external pressures, the solid dividend yield of 3.5% presents a compelling reason for investor confidence. Overall, Kenvue is seen as a contender in a portfolio focused on durable companies that can withstand economic fluctuations.

Tariffs -- how to benefit?

Consumer staples are outperforming in the last few days, and that speaks to the advantage of having a balanced portfolio. Companies like KHC, UL, KVUE, and Nestle. It's not that they won't be affected (their costs would go up), but they're far less cyclical than other businesses. Earnings will be much more stable. Earnings could fall 10%, but not 50%. Dividends will be sustained.

Companies like Unilever and Nestle are huge in NA, but huge globally as well.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 20/23, Up 21%)

An activist investor is inside the company now. Pays a 3.5% dividend. Not followed that much by Wall Street, but offers decent growth.

COMMENT

Spun off from JNJ, but shares are up only 6% this year. The activist investor is too harsh, because the entire health/beauty sector is under pressure.

TOP PICK

Consumer health spinoff from J&J. First rate consumer products business. Trading at discount to peers in sector. ~4% dividend attractive. Excellent array of brands in portfolio. Litigation always a concern, but overall not worried for the long term. 

DON'T BUY

A JNJ spin-off, done with a lot of debt which gives him pause. Their PE is high. Is really concerned is that JNJ also spun off the liability to the talcum powder lawsuits which KVUE now carries.

WATCH

He owns JNJ. Lots of regard for KVUE, but hasn't initiated a position. Needs a period of seasoning to transition from IPO to reality. He's watching and waiting. Meaningful discount to CHD, but of similar quality.

DON'T BUY

Consumer products spinoff from Johnson & Johnson.
Would not buy at current share price (19x earnings).
Growth is slow (3-4%).
Sees better opportunities elsewhere.
Assumed product liability on products - very expensive.
