Kenvue Inc.は、Kimberly-Clark Corporationとの計画中の統合に近づいており、株主承認が得られ、米国の独占禁止法の待機期間も満了した。ただし、この現金および株式による取引は、残る海外規制当局の承認と慣例的な条件を条件として、2026年第4四半期に完了する見込みである。Kenvueの株主は、Kenvue株1株につきKimberly-Clark株0.14625株と現金3.50ドルを受け取る見込みで、完了後、完全希薄化ベースで合併会社の約46%を所有することになる。Kimberly-Clarkは完了後の組織体制を発表しているが、Kenvueは取引が保留中の間、将来の財務ガイダンスを提供しておらず、期待される利益が実現されない可能性がある。最近の業績は実行上の課題を示している。2026年第2四半期の純売上高は3%増の39億5500万ドル、有機的売上高は1.6%増となったが、調整後1株当たり利益は31セントで、Zacks Consensus Estimateの32セントを下回った。調整後売上総利益率は、インフレ、関税、不利な為替変動により70ベーシスポイント低下し60.2%となった。Self Careは依然として圧力点であり、上半期の有機的売上高は0.9%減となったが、Skin Health and Beautyは有機的売上高が4.4%増、セグメント調整後営業利益が46.9%増の3億5400万ドルとなり、より強い相殺となった。バランスシートはリスクを追加する。2026年6月28日時点で、Kenvueの総負債は85億ドル、現金は11億ドルであり、2026年のリストラクチャリングプログラムは、税引前費用として約2億5000万ドルを計上し、年間約2億ドルの税引前総コスト削減をもたらす見込みである。法的およびマクロ的な圧力が続いている。2026年7月に第二巡回区控訴裁判所が以前のアセトアミノフェン判決を破棄し訴訟を差し戻したこと、米国とカナダ以外のタルク関連負債、年間の総関税エクスポージャーは約8000万ドルと推定される。主要なマイルストーンは完了しているが、第4四半期の完了見込みには依然として規制上、運営上、財務上のリスクが伴う。
