- Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares of The Honest Company Inc HNST with a price target of $6.00.
- Yesterday, the company announced the appointment of CPG industry veteran Carla Vernón as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 9, 2023.
- Vernón will replace Nick Vlahos, who served in the role for nearly six years and will remain on the company's Board of Directors.

- At Amazon, Vernón worked closely with HNST and its senior leadership team to support its Honest Lifestyle Platform, the analyst noted.
