Investment thesis

Base case
Consumer-led launches can support volume, mix and brand share. The base case remains conditional on kenvue integration staying manageable.
Bull case
Consumer-led launches can support volume, mix and brand share. Cost programs can fund marketing and offset input pressure. The planned combination could broaden categories, brands and global scale.
Bear case
A large acquisition carries financing, approval and synergy risks. Pulp, resin and energy inflation can compress margins. Consumers may trade down when pricing rises faster than household budgets.
Thesis invalidation
Reassess the thesis if a large acquisition carries financing, approval and synergy risks.
