Why now
Household & Personal Products · market cap $36.6b. 12% off the 52-week high of $21.63. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $19.50 (implying +2% upside).
Moat
ROE 16% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 115% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Dividend payout 98% of earnings on a 4.4% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut.
Horizon
1-3 yr $19.50 (12-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $28.55 at ~8% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $42.35 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Forward EPS estimate$1.24

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect KVUE to earn is essentially unchanged. The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →
