Despite positive aspects, Kenvue Inc. has received mixed ratings from analysts, with one sell rating and a majority of hold ratings, indicating uncertainty in the stock's performance.
The stock's current price of $23.02 on the NYSE may be considered high by some investors, potentially limiting short-term gains.
