He views KMB as a strategic acquirer of Kenvue’s assets, emphasizing that the categories are complementary and that the purchase price and EBITDA multiple look attractive relative to where Kenvue traded before Tylenol-related headline pressure. He also highlights the sizable potential for value creation from the combined company’s scale, projected revenue and EBITDA base, and planned cost and revenue synergies, especially if sector valuation multiples recover after a difficult start to 2026. In addition, he notes that some of Kenvue’s higher-growth, higher-margin brands—particularly in self care—could enhance KMB’s portfolio over time, while perceived legal overhangs on Tylenol appear to be easing, supporting his unchanged $120 price target and Buy stance. Lizzul covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as Clorox, Kimberly Clark, and Coty. According to TipRanks, Lizzul has an average return of \-2.5% and a 38.79% success rate on recommended stocks. In another report released on April 29, RBC Capital also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $162.00 price target. ### Related Stocks - [KMB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KMB.US.md) - [KVUE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KVUE.US.md) - [BAC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC.US.md) - [CLX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CLX.US.md) - [COTY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COTY.US.md) - [RY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RY.US.md) - [BAC-Q.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-Q.US.md) - [BML-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-L.US.md) - [BAC-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-L.US.md) - [BAC-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-K.US.md) - [BML-H.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-H.US.md) - [BAC-N.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-N.US.md) - [BAC-E.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-E.US.md) - [MER-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MER-K.US.md) - [BAC-O.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-O.US.md) - [BML-G.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-G.US.md) - [BAC-M.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-M.US.md) - [BAC-B.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-B.US.md) - [BML-J.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BML-J.US.md) - [BAC-S.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-S.US.md) - [BAC-P.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BAC-P.US.md) - [8648.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/8648.JP.md) ## Related News & Research - [Kimberly-Clark Declares Quarterly Dividend | KMB Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286461313.md) - [Are Wall Street Analysts Bullish on Kimberly-Clark Stock?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286580628.md) - [AI shift forces skills rethink at India tech hubs, Kimberly-Clark executive says](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287070389.md) - [ImagineAR unveils $500K financing and strategic debt-to-equity swap](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286729893.md) - [Nonwoven Fabric Market to Reach US$87.9 Billion by 2033 Amid Rising Hygiene and Medical Demand - Persistence Market Research](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286933689.md)
