About
Reckitt is a British multinational consumer health and hygiene company producing market-leading brands including Nurofen (ibuprofen), Strepsils, Dettol, Lysol, Durex, Mucinex, Enfamil infant formula, and Woolite — competing across OTC health, hygiene and home, and nutrition categories. Listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: RKT) and headquartered in Slough, England, Reckitt generates approximately £14 billion ($17 billion) in annual revenue. The company has undergone significant portfolio reshaping, divesting its Infant Formula & Child Nutrition (IFCN) business in some markets and selling Mead Johnson Nutrition operations.\n\nReckitt's business is organized into two segments: Health (Nurofen, Strepsils, Gaviscon, Mucinex, DayQuil/NyQuil in North America) and Hygiene and Home (Lysol/Dettol disinfectants, Finish dishwasher tablets, Vanish stain remover, Air Wick). The Health segment benefits from strong brand equity in OTC medications that command premium pricing. The Hygiene segment's Lysol brand benefited significantly from COVID-19 disinfectant demand and has sustained elevated brand awareness post-pandemic.\n\nIn 2025, Reckitt faces ongoing challenges from its $2.4 billion acquisition of Mead Johnson (Enfamil) — the company has faced significant litigation related to NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) lawsuits claiming preterm infant formula contributed to infant deaths, resulting in large court judgments against Reckitt in 2024. The company is managing these legal liabilities while continuing to run its core consumer health and hygiene portfolio. Reckitt competes with Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, and Haleon for OTC health and hygiene market share. The 2025 strategy focuses on its Power Brands in health and hygiene, cost efficiency, and resolving the Mead Johnson litigation exposure.

About
Kenvue Inc. is a Skillman, New Jersey-based consumer health company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: KVUE) as an S&P 500 Consumer Staples component — marketing and selling over-the-counter medicines, skin health and beauty products, and essential health products through iconic consumer brands including Tylenol (pain and fever relief), Band-Aid (wound care), Neutrogena (skin care), Johnson's (baby care), Listerine (oral care), Aveeno (skincare), Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen pain relief), Zyrtec (allergy), Nicorette (smoking cessation), Neosporin (antibiotic ointment), and Benadryl through approximately 22,000 employees in 165 countries. Kenvue was separated from Johnson & Johnson through an IPO in May 2023 (the largest US IPO of 2023) and a tax-free distribution of J&J's remaining 89.6% stake to J&J shareholders in August 2023 — creating the world's largest pure-play consumer health company by market capitalization, with J&J retaining no ownership. In fiscal year 2024, Kenvue reported revenues of approximately $15.5 billion, with organic growth facing headwinds from lower cold/cough/flu season severity (Tylenol, Zyrtec, Benadryl volume sensitive to respiratory illness intensity), competitive pressure in skin health (Neutrogena competing with Korean beauty brands, Cerave, and pharmacy private label), and macroeconomic consumer trading down to lower-price alternatives in some markets. CEO Thibaut Mongon leads Kenvue's strategy of investing in the brand superiority of its household name portfolio while improving operational efficiency in the post-spinoff period (implementing Kenvue's own supply chain infrastructure, IT systems, and organizational structure previously shared with J&J).
