Legal Wins Fueling The Fire
If that's not enough to get the bulls excited, Kenvue just scored a big legal win. The company successfully defended itself against a lawsuit over its Tylenol ‘Rapid Release' gelcaps, with plaintiffs claiming they didn't work any faster than regular Tylenol.
Kenvue came out swinging, proving that consumers weren't misled. A victory in the courtroom and strong momentum in the market? Talk about a one-two punch.

Brand Power: The Secret Sauce
Kenvue isn't just riding a wave of legal victories and technical indicators—it's also backed by some of the biggest names in consumer health. With a portfolio that also includes Aveeno, Band-Aid, Benadryl, Combantrin and Zyrtec, Kenvue is flexing its brand muscle, generating $15 billion in annual revenue.
Even in a crowded and competitive space, these brands dominate their categories. The company's ability to pivot and innovate (hello, retro Tylenol!) keeps it at the top.
Bulls Vs. Bears: Who Wins?
Kenvue is on the verge of a Golden Cross and boasts a strong brand lineup, the bullish momentum looks poised to continue.
But will it be enough to silence the bears? Only time — and the next few trading days — will tell.
